Growing Opal - About the Apple Trees, Farms, & Growth

Growing Opal

Taste the Opal Difference

You can't compare apples to Opals®!

Opal® apples can’t be compared to an everyday apple. These sunny fruits are like none other — with a beautiful appearance, distinctively crunchy texture,and a sweet, tangy flavor. But one of the most incredible and natural features of this apple is that it does not brown after cutting. So an Opal® a day will keep your salads — and your kids’ lunchboxes — crisp and fresh.

Non-GMO Project Verification

Opal® apples are Non-GMO Project verified. They are the first U.S. apple variety to be verified by the Non-GMO Project, the only independent verification in North America for non-GMO food. These naturally non-browning apples are and have always been in compliance with the Non-GMO Standard.
