An Apple Worth Waiting For
Black Oxford is a Maine heirloom dating to the 1790s, and the first thing you'll notice is the skin: a deep purple, almost black, with a dusty blue-grey bloom that can look nearly solid dark on the sun-exposed side and a lighter maroon where it hung in shade. That's the variety, not a flaw — Black Oxford has always looked this way. Fresh off the tree, the flavor is mild and unassuming; the real reward comes with a few weeks in the refrigerator, when it turns richer and more complex, with a winey depth that fresh eating alone doesn't show. It holds its shape well when baked and makes a distinctive, dark-fleshed sauce.
Why Choose the 12 Count Gift Box?
Twelve apples is an easy way to meet Black Oxford for the first time — enough to taste it fresh, then let the rest sit a week or two in the fridge and taste the difference for yourself. Its dramatic color also makes it a natural addition to a fall table or a cheese board, apple or two on display, before it ever gets cut.
Packed for Delivery
Your Black Oxford apples are cushioned in protective foam to help reduce movement and pressure during delivery. This protected count-box format is a good choice for gifting or whenever presentation and individual apple protection matter.
Shipping & Storage
Shipped fresh from the farm to your door. Refrigerate promptly after arrival — Black Oxford is a genuine keeper, and its flavor rewards a little patience rather than eating it all in the first few days.
