Elstar apple

Elstar is a Dutch dessert apple available from September to April. Sweet with a refreshing tang, it is juicy and recognisable by its red blush over a yellow background.

The Greenery supplies Dutch-grown Elstar apples, both freshly harvested and from storage, in shelf-ready packaging or in bulk. Storage allows you to keep the variety in your range for more than seven months.

Growers

Elstar apples come from Dutch fruit growers affiliated with The Greenery. Van Wijk Fruit grades apples and pears using a camera- and AI-based grading system. GLOBALG.A.P. is the minimum standard for cultivation, while GRASP safeguards social practices at producer level.

Packaging options

The Greenery supplies Elstar apples in four-packs for retail shelves. For wholesale and loose sales, the apples are available in cardboard boxes and wooden crates. Other packaging options can be agreed for each supply programme.
