The Starking apple, a fruit of intense red color with green and yellow stripes, boasts a unique conical shape and five protuberances around the eye. Its thin skin, coated with wax for extra shine, envelops a white, firm, juicy, and crunchy pulp with a sweet and aromatic flavor, complemented by a slight acidic touch.
Originally from the United States as a mutation of the Red Delicious, the Starking is linked to the Stark Brothers nursery in Louisiana (Missouri). Introduced to Europe in the 1950s, it has thrived in Spain, especially in Bierzo (León) and Valle del Jerte (Cáceres).
This fruit is a nutrient treasure, rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. Its diuretic, purifying, anti-inflammatory, and intestinal transit-regulating properties contribute to preventing cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cholesterol, and cancer. Additionally, it improves oral health, vision, and the immune system.
Its versatility makes it a gem in the kitchen. It can be enjoyed alone as a snack or used in sweet or savory recipes, from pies and cakes to compotes, jams, juices, and cider. It pairs wonderfully with cheeses, salads, meats, and fish, keeping its pulp fresh for months without easily oxidizing when cut.
It requires a temperate and humid climate, flowering in spring and being harvested between September and October. With its medium to high size, grayish bark, pink and white flowers, and oval and serrated leaves, it is self-sterile, needing pollinators to fruit. Varieties like Courtavel and Starkrimson offer unique characteristics.
