Producers of organic apples from orchards in France

"Les Amis de Juliet®" (Friends of Juliet®) is an association of over a hundred growers in France who have been won over by the Juliet® apple. At the beginning, Benoit Escande (nurseryman) and Guilhem Sévérac (arboriculture expert at the Chambre d'agriculture de Vaucluse) saw enormous potential when they observed the first Juliet® plants.
It apple benefits from undeniable gustatory qualities and is perfectly suited to organic farming. To the delight of growers, it is resistant to scab and unattractive to aphids.
Bringing together some 190 growers, "Les Amis de Juliet®" aims to raise awareness of the beautiful Juliet® apple, coordinate technical monitoring of its orchards as well as develop plantings.
The growers adhere to three principles: no use of fertilizers, no use of GMOs, and no use of the synthetic herbicides so often used in the production of so-called conventional apples.
Juliet® apple growers are the best ambassadors, promoting this variety to the whole world.

What you need to know about organic apples

As well as being the oldest fruit in the world, the apple is the most widely eaten fruit in France. There are almost 10,000 varieties of apple. Rich in vitamins and minerals, apples are appreciated for their taste and nutritional qualities. Organic apples, grown with care by committed producers, differ from conventional apples in that they contain no toxic substances. Instead, natural fertilisers, mineral oils and fungicides are used. 

Organic apples seem sweeter. In juice or purée form, the delicious flavours of apples are even more present.
 
Apples are good for your health, containing flavonoids, pectin, polyphenols and many other nutrients. Studies have also shown that organic apples contain healthy bacteria (Source: Sciences et Avenir, ‘Les pommes sont gorgées de bactéries... et c'est tant mieux!’). Lactobacilli and Methylobacterium are thought to improve the apple's flavour.
To recognise organic apples, all you need to do is check for the organic certification. This guarantee of quality ensures that producers follow rigorous organic farming practices. There are two types of label: the French AB label and the European organic label. It's also important to check the origin of the apple and its by-products. Under the European logo, you'll find information on the place of production, often linked to the passionate work of local producers. Beyond the labels, organic apples can also be distinguished by their sweeter taste and natural shape. 

To keep them fresh, simply place them in a fruit basket or in the fridge.
