The fruit  is smaller than the other apple varieties and has a pleasant acidulous and scented taste. The Annurca apple has been grown in Campania for at least two thousand years. Some paintings discovered in the excavations of Ercolano are a proof of its close relation with the Roman civilisation and the Campania Felix in particular. With a production of little more than 60,000 tons a year on average, the Annurca apple accounts for 80% of the apple production in Campania and approximately 5% of the national production.
