History of KIKU® brand apples
In 1990 Luis Braun, an Italian fruit grower, was traveling through Japan when he discovered a branch in an orchard with apples with an attractive coloring and a particularly sweet and pleasant taste. This unique branch that Mother Nature graced us with lead to the development of the KIKU® brand apple program in Italy. Now KIKU® brand apples are proudly grown in the U.S.A. by a select group of some of the finest farmers around the globe.
