Ambrosia Apples

Ambrosia is an apple variety originating from British Columbia, Canada, when it was discovered in the early 1990s. The apples were chosen for their flowery, sweet, and fragrant flavor and were found growing as an accidental seedlings in an orchard in British Columbia in the late 20th century. Ambrosia apples are a club apple type, which means a company oversees its management to control global production and guarantee that quality and consistency criteria are being maintained.

Averaging 7 to 8 centimeters in diameter, Ambrosia apples are a medium to big variety with a spherical to conical form that tapers slightly at the base. The apple's skin is thin, smooth, and delicate with a glossy finish and a thin coating of wax. The apples are bright to pale yellow on the outside, with an orange-red to red-pink blush and a few sparse lenticels on the inside. The delicious aroma and naturally low acid content of Ambrosia apples contribute to its mellow, sweet flavor. The apples feature simple flavor characteristics of pears, blossoms, and wildflower honey and are renowned for their honeyed taste.
