Ernst Hofer, apple farmer from Lana, about the Gala
Gala is our typical summer apple. It’s the first variety to be harvested in South Tyrol from around mid-August and thus opens the apple season every year. This apple has many different red colours and is very popular all over the world, which explains its worldwide cultivation.
