Bleke Bet. Sijden Hemdje. Roomsche Griet. Doesn't it ring a bell? These are all old Dutch apple varieties which you can taste in the village of Doesburg soon! ’t Olde Ras (lit. the old variety) in Doesburg is due to hold the fruit exposition ‘Verleden tot Heden’ (From past to Present) on 7 and 8 November. At the exposition about 1000 old fruit varieties will be on display – all labeled by name. In addition, many traditional fruit growing tools will be exhibited.
