Tholen - This morning, the harvest of the new apple variety Kanzi started in The Netherlands. The Dutch actress Yolanthe Cabau van Kasbergen picked the first apple. The name Kanzi is derived from the South African word for ‘hidden treasure' and will be brought to the European market by Greenstar Kanzi Europe (GKE), a venture of among others the Dutch company Koninklijke Fruitmasters and the Belgian company Veiling Haspengouw. Kanzi is a cross between the varieties Braeburn and Gala. "After many years of breeding, a new variety has been born. Kanzi offers the best properties of Braeburn and Gala. This goes beyond appearance and taste. To be a successful apple, taste and quality have to be the same year round. Kanzi is a shiny red apple with a lovely taste and I'm sure that it can become one of the most important apple varieties in Europe in the future," said CEO Urs Luder of GKE.
