Redlove apples are a series of cultivars bred by Markus Kobelt in Switzerland. They are hybrids from cross-pollination of red-fleshed and scab-resistant plants.

The apples were created by Markus Kobelt, a nurseryman in Buchs, Switzerland, in the Rhine Valley overlooking the Alps. Kobelt developed his prized fruit in 2010, allegedly by cross-pollinating Royal Gala and Braeburn apples with some other, secret red-fleshed varieties that weren't known for their taste.

The Redlove® is a recently bred hybrid apple. It is the result of 20 years of painstaking work by Markus Kobelt, a Swiss fruit grower who grew this apple sort without the use of genetic modification tech- niques.

Choose from early fruiting varieties, which bear fruit in September and October, or late varieties, which produce apples in November. The early fruiting varieties don't store well and should be eaten straight away, while late-fruiting apples may be stored to eat over winter.
