WHOLESALE APPLES

At Rushton’s, apples are a cornerstone of our fresh fruit offerings. While they might seem commonplace, we understand that selecting the right apple varieties can elevate your menu and delight your customers. What sets our apple selection apart is the exceptional range we offer, from traditional British varieties to premium French options, each with distinct flavour profiles and culinary applications perfect for London’s discerning chefs.

Heritage

The apple has deep roots in British culinary tradition, with over 2,500 varieties having been grown here historically. From classic British varieties like Cox and Bramley to international favourites, apples have shaped our food culture for centuries. Each variety has been carefully developed for specific growing conditions, flavour profiles, and culinary applications.

We know that professional kitchens require consistency, quality, and character in their ingredients. That’s why we take pride in offering a diverse apple selection that goes beyond the basic supermarket varieties, giving your kitchen the distinctive edge that sets exceptional menus apart.
