How does the soil influence the taste and quality of the fruit that grows in it? Among wine connoisseurs, the term “terroir” is widely used. But is it really more than a marketing concept – and does it apply to other fruits as well? Find out for yourself! Soil expert Thomas Peham from the Land Tirol invites you to a “Terroir Tasting” as part of the school session “Day of Nutrition.” You will taste the same apple variety grown at different locations on an organically managed Tyrolean fruit farm, together with samples of the respective soils. You’ll learn more about the structure and properties of different soils – and how they may shape the taste of the fruit. Can your palate taste the soil in the fruit? No registration needed!
