Abermarle Pippin: Known to be the best of all Virginia apples. Developed in the early 1700's, it was so good that it was the only food commodity exempt from crown import tax. This was because it was also the favorite of Queen Victoria! Grown in large quantity by Thomas Jefferson at Monticello. It has a rich, crisp somewhat piney flavor. Circulated throughout Virginia by one of George Washington's officers during the war against the French in 1755. A wonderful eating and baking apple, the Abermarle is also a most historical variety!
