Gala apples are non-uniform in colour, usually vertically striped or mottled, with overall orange colour. They are sweet, fine textured, and aromatic, can be added to salads, cooked, or eaten raw, and are especially suitable for creating sauces. The taste of the apples is sweet with a crunchy and crisp texture. Although they keep for a couple of months (longer when stored correctly by commercial growers) they taste best fresh from the tree or for a week later at the most. The difference between a Gala apple straight from the tree compared to one from the supermarkets is very striking - fresh is definitely best.
Gala is the most commonly sold apple in the UK and the key reason for this is they store for long periods of time in refrigeration. Although they are are not particularly disease resistant their ability to grow very strongly helps them to shrug off many pests and diseases.
