Currant Ribest® Glasperle®

Product information "Currant Ribest® Glasperle®"

The Ribest® Glasperle® currant is a white, late variety that ripens in August. It has extremely long strings with almost transparent berries and a mild flavour.
White currants belong botanically to the red currants. In former times, white currants were much more likely to be found in private gardens. Their flavour was much milder when compared to red and black currants. Today, there are also white varieties, such as the currant Ribest® Glasperle®, with very large, aromatic fruits. Unlike the older varieties, they are also resistant to fungal diseases.
