About Juliet
Juliet is a groundbreaking French apple variety with a unique distinction - it is the only apple in the world grown exclusively organically. This remarkable achievement began in 2001-2002 in the Vaucluse region of France, when arboriculture expert Guilhem Sévérac discovered the variety's enormous potential on an experimental plot, leading to a revolution in organic apple production. The story of Juliet grew from a small group of producers wanting to change farming practices into the 'Les Amis de Juliet' association, founded in 2005 and now uniting over 190 growers across all major French orchard regions. Today, Juliet apples are grown on 570 hectares of orchards exclusively in France, with every single apple certified organic - a commitment unmatched by any other commercial apple variety. Juliet's natural resistance to apple scab and aphids makes truly organic production viable without pesticides. The apple itself is beautifully bicoloured - passionately red on top and sun-drenched yellow beneath - with naturally juicy, crunchy, sweet flesh that works equally well for eating fresh or cooking. Its exceptional shelf-life makes it practical for households. Grocefully helps you compare Juliet organic apple prices across UK organic food shops and specialist retailers including Real Foods. Whether you're committed to organic eating, seeking pesticide-free produce, or simply want a delicious apple with a remarkable story, our platform finds the best value on this French organic success story.
