Juliet® tastes great and… it’s organic! The story behind this apple is also about a commitment to producing fruit that respects the land, the environment, and consumers. Organic farming addresses these challenges with the ultimate goal of cultivating the land to optimize its long-term fertility. Its production methods work in harmony with natural cycles and the ecosystems of the soil and the environment.
The organic treatment of our Juliet® apple trees stands out for its commitment to protecting local flora and fauna. Our alternative methods—which do not rely on synthetic pesticides—allow us to avoid the use of traditional chemicals and pesticides while providing maximum protection for our apple trees. We set up physical barriers that help repel pests and prevent certain insect pests from invading, thereby protecting our apple trees.
The rules for obtaining the AB (Organic Agriculture) label are defined and regulated by the Ministry of Agriculture, in accordance with the European Organic label, through a set of rigorous specifications. Independent certification bodies conduct annual inspections to ensure compliance with these practices. In particular, they ensure that the three fundamental rules of organic farming are followed:
Production must not use synthetic pesticides or herbicides
The cultivation method must not use synthetic fertilizers, or sewage sludge
The cultivation of seeds derived from GMOs is prohibited
The AB logo found on Pomme Juliet® packaging certifies that our orchards are cultivated in accordance with organic standards. Our products made from Juliet® apples contain no synthetic chemicals, GMOs, food additives, or preservatives.
The organic treatments we use on our apple trees are not just ethical choices; they are an opportunity for us to adopt a forward-thinking approach that combines innovation, respect for ecosystems, and the protection of our orchards’ natural resources.
Like all seasonal crops that respect nature, the Juliet® apple is not available out of season. You can find it from mid-October through the end of April at specialty organic stores and at your local produce shop. To identify it, look for the Juliet® sticker—it’s easily recognizable thanks to the sketch of a little girl in a red dress against a green background.
Did you know? This label is compostable and biodegradable, so it breaks down in an environmentally friendly way.
The apple is undoubtedly one of the most popular fruits in France and around the world. Apples come from apple trees, which are planted during the dormant season, in winter. For apples to form and for the flowers to be pollinated, the apple tree needs to be planted alongside other apple trees of different varieties. It takes 3 to 4 years for the tree to begin bearing fruit. During this time, the apple tree develops its roots and structure in preparation for future flowering.
Apples offer numerous health benefits. They are rich in antioxidants, which may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Apples are also rich in pectin, making them a powerful ally in lowering cholesterol levels and alleviating certain digestive problems. They’re also a great source of vitamin C, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, vitamin K, and copper.
Apple peels are said to have powerful antioxidant properties, even more so than the flesh. To avoid any pesticides—which are mainly found in the flesh—it’s recommended to choose an organic apple.
