Jazz Apple Review

"A Disharmony of Flavor Notes"

Mediocre
Jazz Apple

This dense, oblong, rock munch contains a dizzying array of flavors reminiscent of a pretentious jazz solo you pretend to enjoy. Not quite sweet, not quite tart, and a bit of pear thrown in for good measure – this marketing darling will keep you off-balance with a confusion of flavors that fail to harmonize effectively. Like Jazz itself, biting into this apple will spawn moments of joy and moments of boredom leaving bewildered chewers asking the question: did I really just pay for that? Not a terrible apple, but its the flavor notes I’m not tasting that bar it from a recommendation.

  1. I picked up a variety of different types to try and again your description is spot on. It’s not *bad* – as long as the texture is good it’s edible to me, and this definitely hits the mark there, but not on flavor. Just doesn’t jive.

          1. Jazz Apples are my absolute favorite! I love the crisp crunchiness of them, the perfect size of them, and even their coloring. I love that they are sweet and tangy/tart at the same time. Jazz Apples have ruined me for all other apples. I simply won’t eat anything else. I hate when they are hard to find in my area. I have literally gone to 3 grocery stores on 1 day hunting for Jazz Apples.

  2. I’ll have to respectfully disagree. I absolutely love the Jazz apple and haven’t found one I like more yet. Very crisp and juicy and just the right interesting mix of sweet and tart! I love your passion for apples and entertaining reviews. I don’t care for Jazz the music but I find the apple just right.

    1. Some people like regular Jazz, some people like Jazz apples. Everyone is different and that’s a good thing! I have this apple marked as ‘serviceable’ so it being someone’s favorite apple is well within the realm of what is acceptable in my opinion.

    2. It’s my favorite, too – the only apple I’ve consistently loved since Braeburns fell off the cliff about 20 years ago. Every other variety is a crapshoot.

  3. Joining the “jazz are my favorites” crowd. When I get them they are always and consistently:
    Crunchy
    Juicy
    Tart
    Sweet
    This is the entirety of things I want in an apple.

  4. @theappleist The people have spoken. Please review this apple! Maybe these apples don’t age well by the time they get to the US of A but these are by far the best apples on the shelf in Australia all year round. Maybe Hamish and Andy could fly you over to taste one fresh off the tree. We rate pizza shops by their margarita and likewise with apple review sites if the Jazz apple is not in the top 3 then just how much credibility do these apple rankings actually hold. Sincerely.
