Simply translated from ancient Greek, Ambrosia is the 'food of the gods', an apt name for an apple that is truly among the elite in its class. A pure delight to look at, touch and of course bite into and savour.

Found as a chance seedling in British Columbia, Ambrosia apples boast a smooth skin with a bright, almost iridescent pink blush washed over a classic cream coloured canvas. The juicy flesh, slow to oxidize and brown offers a fine, crisp texture, and once bitten into treats the pallet to a sweet, low acid flavour that is, in a word, heavenly!

Slow to brown due to its low oxidization, Ambrosia apples are ideal for salads and fruit plates and are equally delightful to eat all by themselves.

Kitchen connoisseurs will applaud Ambrosia's ability to maintain its shape when cooked making it the perfect choice for pies and tarts and because of its natural sweetness Ambrosias require very little additional sugar added when compared to other apple varieties.

Without a doubt, an apple variety handed down by the Gods, Ambrosia is shattering the traditional 'red is best' barrier with its multi-coloured beauty and magnificent taste. Bravo Zeus and crew!
