Helpful advice on buying apples:

• Look for firm, smooth skinned apples that are free of bruises and gouges.
• A scald, which looks like a dry brown patch on the skin of the apple, does not affect the eating quality or shelf life. This is known as russet.
• When buying your apples, always look for fruit that has a fresh smell. A musty smell is a sign that the apples are past their best quality.
• If you want the original and true Batlow Apples eating experience then look for the GREEN STICKER when you purchase your apples
• Visit your local greengrocer for fresh Batlow Apples year round.

Storing apples for a great eating experience:

The best way to keep your Batlow Apples fresh and crisp is to keep them cool. Apples can keep for weeks in the crisper compartment of your fridge. Make sure put them in a plastic bag away from your vegetables.

Many people believe it's best to keep apples in the fruit bowl, but apples left out of the fridge can deteriorate ten times faster than those kept inside.

If you do not keep your apples in the fridge make sure you eat them within a few days of purchase.
