The beautiful story of a 100% French-grown organic apple

The name of my variety is Juliet^®. I am a bicolored apple — passionately red atop and sun drenched-yellow beneath. I am good for everything — eating raw or for cooking.  Naturally juicy, I am crunchy and sweet in order to bring you all my flavours. 

Grown on 570 hectares of orchards exclusively in France, you will find me grown only in organically, as it says on my label. The AB logo shows consumers that I have been produced in compliance with the strictest set of rules defined in a set of precise guidelines, particularly prohibiting use of chemical or synthetic pesticides and GMOs.

You will enjoy every part of me, especially my skin that is rich in vitamins, without fear of consuming pesticides or other chemicals. 

Among all of the other apple varieties, I am the only variety in the world that is grown exclusively organically. Surely are familiar with some of the most popular apple varieties, such as Gala, Golden, Chanteclerc, Granny Smith, Pink Lady etc...

Unsurprisingly, the apple is the most consumed and appreciated fruit in France. Production continues to rise, reaching almost 1.67 million tonnes in our country.
