How well do you know the Spartan?
ITS CHARACTERISTICS
The Spartan is definitely your friend in the kitchen: ultra-firm, just sweet enough and hardy. This plump apple keeps its shape once cooked, making your desserts all the more irresistible. If you want to enhance their sweetness, simply store your Spartans in a cool area.
