Ambrosia apples are a Canadian variety that was discovered in Cawston, BC.  by  Sally & Wilfrid Mennell on their orchard. The delicious apples were soon named Ambrosia to describe how extraordinary they are!

With beautiful creamy & blush skin, these apples look perfect on the outside. On the inside, they are crispy and pack a refreshing flavour with little acid. Perfect fresh and slow to brown,  Ambrosias are great for sharing on platters, or try in a variety of recipes including this Roasted Ambrosia Apple Soup!
