The Emergo apple, from new Zealand, is reminiscent of other New Zealand apple varieties such as the Eve. The crunchiness of the flesh is sublime. The taste is subdued, a vague tartness with sweet notes hovering around it that barely register or make that much of a statement. Scattered through the Emergo apple are pockets of Fuji-like tropical sweetness. That pop of flavor helped balance out the Emergo apple.

I enjoyed the Emergo apple, but I did not see anything overtly special or exciting in it. The flavor was expected, and the flesh was excellent, but it did not ‘wow.’
