Gala Apples each
Gala Apples have a softer, sweeter character than many other varieties, with thin red-and-yellow striped skin and pale yellow flesh that's gently crisp rather than aggressively crunchy. The flavour is mild and honeyed, making them an easy, approachable apple for everyday eating. As part of our Fresh Fruits range, each Gala is selected for firmness, colour, and a fragrant aroma.
