Reinette du Canada or Canadian Reinette is, despite its name, an old French cultivar of domesticated apple. It is a reinette type of golden apple, with much russeting, which keeps shape in cooking and is mainly used for that purpose especially in apple strudel.[1]
Even today it is considered as the default russet apple of France, and is also known as the Reinette Blanche du Canada[2] and many more names.[3] Reinette Grise du Canada is probably also a sub cultivar of it, but this is not clear.[1] Reinette du Canada, or whatever name it has, likely originated in Normandy, France and was first described in 1771.[3]
The fruit is tart and mostly used for cooking if picked early and used quickly; if stored for some time it gets softer and sweeter hence more recommended for fresh eating.[3] It blossoms approximately three days after the Cox's Orange Pippin.[4]
