Åkerö, also called Akero or Okera, is an old apple cultivar of Swedish origin. It is a dessert apple with an aromatic flavor.
Åkerö was first described by pomologist Olof Eneroth in 1858. It is probably named after the Åkerö Manor located south of Stockholm, Sweden where according to some it was originally found as a seedling. Today it is still cultivated in Sweden and is regarded as the best Swedish apple. It was once very popular in Scandinavia and northern Germany.
