Gala
Flavor Profile Well-balanced sweet and tart elements; hints of tropical fruit flavors.
The Gala apple offers a wonderful balance of tart and sweet that help it stand up to a range of different flavors. It pairs well with bold, distinctive flavors such as curry powder, fresh ginger, tarragon, basil, and chives. In general, savory flavors complement the Gala best; sweeter ingredients can overwhelm the apple's own moderate sweetness.
This is a wine-friendly apple, making it a good choice for recipes served as an appetizer or main course accompanied by wine. It pairs particularly well with Riesling, Chianti, Merlot and Pinot Noir wines.
