How 'bout them apples?
Employees at Steirerfrucht select and package Austrian-grown apples for storage and shipping. On average, the facility processes about 150,000 to 170,000 tonnes per year. In addition to apples, Steirerfrucht also packages pears, plums, peaches and berries. Austrians' prefer apples above all other fruits.
Many apples come from Styria's Apple Road. Styria is the province of Austria known for its agricultural operations. The countryside is covered (literally) with black-netted apple orchards. While you may think the black netting is meant to deter birds, it is actually to protect the fruit from hail damage. Karl and Martin Leitner are the father-son team who run "Niglbauer", an apple orchard and processing facility. We tasted the fruits of their labour - apple juice, apple wine and apple schnapps.
