“Thanks to growing conditions this season, Awe Sum Organics apples from the Southern Hemisphere will have exceptional flavor, crispness, and color this year. The timing of our imported organic apples as they enter the market will be just perfect to complement the domestic season, which is just about to wrap up,” says David Posner, President and CEO of Awe Sum Organics. That’s great news for retailers, meaning no gaps in their supply of the most popular varieties to the ever increasing demand for organic apples. Organic fruit sales in the US have been increasing 15–20% each year for quite a few years in a row now. “More and more retailers every year want to carry organic apples year-round and Awe Sum Organics has helped make that a reality by providing a good and reliable supply of Southern Hemisphere organic apples in the off season. Today, organic apples are available in most retail markets you walk into at any time of the year.”
Awe Sum Organics, the largest importer of organic apples in North America, imports well over 90% of all organic apples coming in from New Zealand to North America, as well as fruit from both the largest Chilean and Argentinian organic apple growers. This makes for a seamless program for all varieties and pack styles during the import season and for distribution throughout the off season, loading on both the East and West Coast of the US. Awe Sum Organics’ New Zealand Apples are grown in Hawke’s Bay, on the Eastern side of New Zealand’s North Island. Hawke’s Bay soils are rich, volcanic and deeply complex – perfect for organic apple production. Awe Sum’s organic Chilean apples are grown up and down Chile’s Central Valley, and their Argentinean apples are grown in the Rio Negro Valley of Argentina…both having exceptional soil for organic apple production.
Due to the organic apple supply from New Zealand, Chile, and Argentina, Awe Sum Organics is able to offer Organic Royal Gala, Granny Smith, Fuji, Cripps Pink, Braeburn, and Red Delicious all in various sizes, tray packed and bagged. Consumers love Awe Sum’s Heirloom Red Delicious. Quite different from the standard, common dark burgundy variety, Awe Sum’s Heirloom variety Red Delicious from Argentina is the Red Delicious variety that your grandparents grew up with. Crisp, sweet, almost candy-like, they are truly delicious! Other favorites for flavor are Awe Sum’s New Zealand Organic Braeburn and their Chilean Cripps Pink. The soil in Hawkes Bay produces an awesome tasting Organic Braeburn. Tart with a sweet crunch and complex flavor, Awe Sum’s New Zealand Organic Braeburn is like a fine wine whose complex flavor gets better after it’s been off the tree for a while. The climate in Chile’s Central Valley produces Organic Cripps Pink that is intensely sweet and tart at the same time, and very crunchy with a beautiful color.
Given recent concerns around antibiotics used to control apple fire blight in the production of organic apples, Awe Sum Organics assures everyone that their growers do not and never have applied antibiotics in any stage of production.
As with much of their fruit, many of Awe Sum Organics’ apples are Fair for Life certified, which guarantees fair wages, good working conditions and social responsibility at each and every stage of production and throughout the distribution chain.
