The Bramley Apple is renowned as the superior cooking apple due to its sharp and characteristic flavour. The unique flavour of the Bramley apple is due to the high level of malic acid and low level of sugar (the opposite in fact to a dessert apple). Bramley apple also has a great texture to withstand cooking.
Preservatives
Fresh Bramley apple can be either preserved with ascorbic acid or sodium metabisulphite. Apple preserved in ascorbic acid has a short shelf life of up to 6 days whereas apple preserved in Sodium metabisulphite has up to 21 days depending on strength used.
