The older apple varieties that carry the name "Calville"[clarification needed] are very popular in Germany and are notable for their unusual look (the sides are somewhat lumpy). Despite their appearance, Calville Blanc d'hiver apples have excellent flavor and an unusually high amount of vitamin C. It is the preferred apple for Tarte Tatin in France.[citation needed]
'Calville Blanc' is one of the apples grown at Monticello by Thomas Jefferson.[2]
