rennet
A group of apple varieties is called Renette or Reinette . These are characterized by dense, later pithy meat, with mostly a distinctive taste.
The name Renette originally comes from French, although the spellings Rainette and Reinette were initially used. The original meaning of the word is unclear. On the one hand, it is discussed that the name is derived from the diminutive of the French word pure (queen) and refers to the taste of the Reinetten, which used to be considered a particularly noble dessert fruit. On the other hand, a derivation from the Latin word rana (frog, French rainette ) is assumed, whereby a reference is made to the shell of the reindeer, which often appears dotted with conspicuous lenticels .
The following classifications have been made in historical literature (system according to Eduard Lucas , 1893):
- Rambourrenettes
- Solid color or wax ribbons
- Borsdorferrenetten
- Red reindeer
- Gray reindeer
- Gold ribbons
This classification has no or only limited validity today. Through breeding work from the middle of the 19th century, many other apple varieties were crossed, so that this system can no longer be maintained in this form.
Gray renettes (English: Russet) have a brownish to greyish color and a rough surface due to their pronounced and extensive russeting, which often covers the entire fruit. They are therefore also referred to as “rusticoat” (German: rust coat), “russeting” and “leathercoat” (German: leather jacket ). The latter name was known in Shakespeare's time, e.g. B. in Heinrich IV., Part 2, where Davy says to Bardolph: “ There's a dish of leathercoats for you ” (German: “There is a plate with“ leathercoats ”for you”).
