Cultivar'Nicoter'
Origin Belgium

The Kanzi is the trademark name[1] of the Nicoter,[2] a modern-bred cultivar of the domesticated apple, which was developed in Belgium by Better3Fruits and Greenstar Kanzi Europe (GKE),[3] from a natural cross between a Gala apple and a Braeburn apple.[4] Kanzi is Swahili for "hidden treasure".[3]

The Kanzi apple has the same parentage as the Jazz from New Zealand and they are similar in taste and appearance, although the texture of the Jazz is harder.[3] Tasters have voted for the Kanzi in preference to the Jazz.[3] The Kanzi is also firm and fairly crisp, quite juicy, and slightly sharp rather than sweet in taste, with a mild flavour.[3] It is mainly used for fresh consumption.[5]
