Apple Red Gold
🍎 Red Gold Apples
A Himalayan Jewel with a Sunset Blush
From the crisp air of Himachal Pradesh’s mid-altitude orchards comes a radiant apple that lives up to its name - Red Gold. A visual and sensory delight, this variety boasts a vibrant blush of ruby and gold with a sweet-tart flavor that’s equally refreshing and indulgent. Grown organically by dedicated farmers practicing mindful cultivation, Red Gold Apples are a feast for your senses and your health.
🏔️ The Orchard Story
Red Gold Apples are cultivated in select orchards of Theog, District Shimla, at altitudes that lend them superior pigmentation, firmer texture, and a distinct tangy-sweet flavor. These apples thrive in the cool, mist-laden Himalayan breeze and rich, mineral-dense soils, resulting in a fruit that is naturally resilient and deeply flavorful.
A cross between Golden Delicious and a local Himachali variant, Red Gold inherits the best of both - golden sweetness and red-hued boldness. Hand-harvested at peak ripeness and never waxed or chemically preserved, each apple offers orchard-fresh integrity in every bite.
