Origins
In the 19th century they were known to be growing in the area around Kea near Truro.[2]
Characteristics
This variety has a high sugar content, adding sweetness to the bittersharp flavour. Due to these equalities, it has been prized for making and blending cider.[3] The trees are vigorous croppers and is also resistant to apple scab.[4] It has a heavy, russeted skin and soft flesh.[5]
In literature
Dufflin cider mentioned in a story by the Cornish writer, Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch, in his book, "Ia, and other tales" , which was published by Bernhard Tauchnitz, Leipzig in 1896.[6] In the story the main character: Ia Rosemundy, spills Dufflin cider on Rev Paul Heathcote, a visiting preacher.[7]
