The world's first flavour wheel for apples

How can the 1152 apple varieties in Switzerland be differentiated from each other? Often even connoisseurs are overwhelmed by this diversity. The Research Institute Agroscope has taken the requirements for differentiation of both industry and consumers seriously, and has developed the world's first aroma wheel for apples. This tool enables Swiss quality to be differentiated both at home and abroad using objective sensory quality criteria.
