Pomme du Limousin
France’s only PDO for an apple awarded to the Golden Delicious variety

  • This star needs no introduction. The only apple in France to have PDO status, a badge it has been wearing with pride for almost 30 years.
  • The Golden Delicious, which is of American origin, was introduced to the Limousin region by Guy Chauffaille in 1945. A few years later, André Michon followed suit.
  • This variety develops its full potential in our high-altitude area: a golden skin that develops a bright pink blush in the sun, a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, and remarkable conservation qualities. Being naturally crisp (under the effects of the soil), it can be stored until the end of August without losing any of its flavour and without requiring any post-harvest treatment.
  • For chefs, it is an endless source of inspiration for both sweet and savoury culinary delights.

Evelina®
Its flavour, like its colour,
is full of intensity.

  • Evelina® corresponds to variety ROHO 3615, a coloured variation of PINOVA (cross between Clivia and Golden Delicious). This intense red bicoloured apple is perfectly suited to high-altitude growing regions.
  • Sweet and pungent, it is both juicy and crisp, modern and authentic. This is a very honest apple, naturally turning deep red when fully ripe.
  • This scab-resistant species also offers regular production.

Dolce Vita®
Enjoyed by both consumers and producers.

  • A cross between Fuji and Cripps Pink, Gradisca is a red club variety, adapted to the high-altitude areas to develop optimal colouring (70/80%).
  • No post-harvest treatment required: its conservation properties are exceptional. The preservation of its texture and flavour over time are astonishing.
  • On the palate, it is sweet, crisp and juicy; a good balance between sweetness and acidity, with a subtle hint of fruity and floral aromas.

  • High flavour potential: an aromatic, slightly tart but still sweet apple.
  • Scab-resistant without post-harvest treatment.
  • Excellent potential for preserving its flavour and texture after the harvest, insensitive to conservation diseases and bitter pit.
  • An organic apple to be enjoyed all year round.
