About Ambrosia
Ambrosia apples were discovered in the Mennells’ orchard in the sun-drenched Similkameen Valley of British Columbia. In the early 1990s, workers in the orchard picked and tasted the bi-coloured apples from a lone tree unlike the others in the orchard. The fruit was so good they stripped the tree clean.
The Mennells took over where Mother Nature left off and created more trees. To their excitement, the resulting apples were as perfect in appearance and taste as the apples from the original mother tree. The bi-coloured apple was named Ambrosia, which in Greek mythology means food of the gods. The apple was registered in 1993 and over the past 20 years, it has grown in popularity and is now grown and available for purchase worldwide.
