B.C. Brand Spartan Apples. Simply wonderful.

Since 1936, when the Spartan varietal was developed at the Summerland Research Station in Summerland, B.C., the B.C. Brand Spartan has been a favourite of consumers worldwide!

Developed with the McIntosh variety as its parent, this dark red apple is perfectly suited for school lunchboxes, but is also a favourite with adults because of its sophisticated taste.

In general, B.C. Brand Spartans give you a good, all-round apple – a crowd pleaser for sure! B.C. Brand Spartans have a satisfying crunch when eaten fresh, and cook up soft and smooth in pies and applesauce. There's really no better way to describe the Spartan than "wonderfully all-purpose".

Renowned for keeping their just-picked taste and texture, B.C. Brand Spartans keep well in cold storage and are available most of the year – until July or sometimes even later!

A proud B.C.-born varietal, the B.C. Brand Spartan is just another B.C. Brand fruit that's been grown with care – and from our orchard to your table, we hope you enjoy one sometime soon.
