Kanzi® Apple Wins Taste Tests, Preferred by Chefs
The Kanzi® apple, known as “the Foodie’s Choice,” has won a series of blind taste tests and is the noted preference of chefs and bakers nationwide.
Originally discovered in Belgium and now grown in premium orchards worldwide, the Kanzi® apple has developed a reputation as a market leader for its crunchy bite and delicious, well-balanced sweet and sour flavor profile.
The acid content balances the sugars perfectly, creating a flavor profile that is an incredible blend of sweet and tangy. The Kanzi® is denser than most, which helps it hold up well in baking dishes
Danelle Huber, Marketing Specialist with CMI Orchards
The Kanzi® is a hybrid of the Gala and Braeburn apples and grown in the U.S. by a select group of CMI Orchards’ growers. It is the second-best-selling apple in Europe and is quickly becoming a rising star in the U.S. apple category, consistently placing among the top 10 selling branded apples. The full retail booklet can be found here.
Taste tests conducted with retail partners, consumers and in product demos continue to lean in favor of Kanzi® apples. In late October, Barstool Sports conducted a blind taste test of 16 apples. The Kanzi® won the top honor.
We’re constantly hearing from chefs, bakers and bloggers on our social media pages who have discovered the exceptional culinary attributes of Kanzi® and consider it their favorite apple in the kitchen for the taste and the vibrant, glossy red skin that looks absolutely beautiful atop salads and when featured in dishes.
