The Cameo is a cultivar of apple, discovered by chance in a Dryden, Washington orchard in the 1987. Its parentage is uncertain; it may be a cross between a Red Delicious and a Golden Delicious, since it was found near orchards of those fruits; it also appears similar to the original Delicious cultivar. It is bright red striped over creamy orange, firm and crisp with an aromatic flavor. It is rapidly becoming a favorite, and is now among the top ten most grown apples in Washington.
American Cameoapples are sold by select shippers in Washington state who agree to adopt a set of best practices for both growing and shipping.
The cameoapple variety was discovered as a chance seedling in a Washington state orchard in the 1980s and has been grown commercially for the past six years.
Cameoapples have a sweet, tart flavor and are known as one of the best eating-apple varieties.
