Marlene apple

Marlene apples are cultivated in South Tyrol, Italy, renowned for their exceptional quality and taste. The region's unique Alpine-Mediterranean climate, characterized by over 300 days of sunshine annually, provides ideal conditions for apple cultivation. The fertile soil and varying altitudes, ranging from 220 to 1,000 meters above sea level, contribute to the diverse range of apple varieties produced. The Marlene brand, established in 1995 by the VOG Consortium, represents a commitment to quality and authenticity, with apples harvested by over 5,000 farmers. These apples are exported to more than 30 countries worldwide, ensuring a global presence. The VOG Consortium, founded in 1945, is Europe's largest apple marketing organization, comprising 11 cooperatives and over 4,000 producers. The consortium's dedication to quality control and sustainable practices has solidified the Marlene brand's reputation as a symbol of premium South Tyrolean apples.
