I only buy Granny Smith apples (the only kind of apples I like but I'm sure they are not that "clean") and for Polish apples, I only like ONE kind (that I buy at small neighborhood shop) but my favorite is by far the Granny Smith kind. Most of the Granny Smith apples they sell in Poland come from Austria (around 5zl/kilo) or even further (these days I buy some at Piotr & Paweł coming from ... New Zeeland at ... 8.99zl/Kilo. It may seem crazy to spend so much on apples but sorry, tasteless Polish apples, no thanks! ;). I buy Polish apples for cooking (together with cinnamon or vanilla).
