🛍 Product Information (Main) (English)：
Rubinette is a Swiss dessert apple raised in 1966 by Walter Hauenstein at the Hauenstein nursery in Rafz, north of Zurich, and brought to market around 1982. It is a chance seedling of Golden Delicious pollinated by Cox’s Orange Pippin. In Switzerland it is also sold as Rafzubin, from the town of origin.
Fruit is small to medium, somewhat flattened, with greenish-yellow to golden skin, orange-red striping on the sun side, and light russet. The stem sits in a notably short cavity. Flesh is creamy white, firm, crisp and very juicy.
Flavour is the reason this apple is sought out. It carries the intense, honeyed, pear-drop aromatics of Cox, with a sweet–sharp balance that many tasters rate as exceptional—sometimes slightly sharper than Cox, with Golden Delicious adding richness rather than simple sweetness. High sugar supports the perfume without dulling the acidity.
Harvest is late September to early October. Fruit is ready to eat soon after picking and keeps about one to two months in cool storage, generally enjoyable into December or early winter; it is not a long-keeper. Best eaten fresh; it also works on tarts and cakes, though the flesh oxidises readily when cut.
A redder sport, Rubinette Rosso (Rossa), is common in trade. Cropping can be light unless fruit is thinned, and the tree is relatively disease-sensitive, which is why it remains more of a specialist and farm-shop apple than a mass-market variety.
Mouneyrac takes pride in sustainable farming practices and meticulous selection, offering only the finest varieties, such as Golden, Gala, and Fuji, each with its own unique balance of sweetness and acidity. Their exceptional taste makes them perfect for snacking, baking, or juicing, bringing a touch of premium quality to every bite.
