Buying apples from the supermarket
The best flavour is generally found when the apples are in season. Apples from the northern hemisphere are at their best from Septe- December. Apples from the southern hemisphere are at their best from March-June.
Because modern storage facilities are so good, it is very common to find both northern and southern hemisphere apples in shops at the same time - even though (depending on the time of year) one will be 6 months older than the other.
If you are shopping for apples in North America or Europe, check the country of origin to make sure you are buying the freshest possible apples:
In Spring buy apples from:
- Australia
- New Zealand
- Brazil
- Chile
- South Africa
In Autumn buy apples from:
- USA
- Canada
- England
- France
- Italy
- Austria
- Netherlands
- China
