Industry Spotlight: Envy™ Apples

With an impeccable balance of sweetness, crunch, and aroma, Envy™ is one apple variety that has it all.

Rainier Fruit Company’s Marvin Record and Sam Gaenz share how this apple lives up to the hype…

Marvin Record,

Chief Operating Officer, Rainier Fruit Company

“Crisp, fragrant, autumnal flavors; the perfect balance of sweet and tart—these characteristics come to mind when I think about Envy apples. Taking a bite of an Envy apple conjures memories of county fairs, pies baking in my grandmother’s kitchen, and the heady scents of the fall harvest. As the last apple harvested for the season, these apples develop complex flavor and deep red color in the cool October air. We take great pride in growing this delicious, versatile apple and are confident your customers will love it too.”

Sam Gaenz,

“Envy is my favorite apple, no doubt. I eat a lot of different apples every day, and there’s nothing quite like the eating experience this variety offers: sweet flavor with just a little tartness, firm and crunchy yet still easy to chew, and fantastic texture that fractures beautifully. I love seeing Envy apples in the box with that deep red color and tiger striping. Dare I say…it makes other apples ‘Envious!’”
