Dutch Codlin
type: Culinary
synonyms: Chalmers’ Large; French Codlin (there is also a varietal by this name, please see French Codlin ), Royal Codlin, Tankard, White Codlin (according to George William Johnson in "The Gardener's Monthly, Volume 11-12" this also refers to Dwarf Apple of Armenia and also Early Almond ). German pomologist Adrian Diel in the early 1800s referred to it as Glory of the West to which A.J. Downing followed suit. Was also called Codlin Hollandais (Thom 322) and Fat Ox (Barron 246)
summary: This cooking apple from the 1700s makes a somewhat tart, golden sauce, though rather mild.

The calyx small and closed, set in a deep and narrow basin. The stem is short and stout, set in a deep and narrow cavity. Develops a greasy feel as it matures.
characteristics: The flesh is white moderately fine-grained, firm and sharp.
origins: Originated in The Netherlands in the 1600s and quickly expanded into neighbouring countries, particularly Germany where it became known as the Holländischer Küchen Apfel and France under the name Codlin Hollandais.
