With the coming UK season signifying the 10th anniversary of British grown JAZZ™ apples, Kent-based grower Peter Chandler has helped the special variety celebrate in style after his JAZZ™ won the much-coveted ‘Tastiest Apple’ title at the National Fruit Show 2017/2018.
Taking place on 25th/26th October at the Kent Event Centre, the National Fruit Show is the biggest celebration of the UK’s commercially grown top fruit and soft fruit with all the leading players and growers in attendance.
The centrepiece of the show is the hotly-contested awards featuring 60 different categories showcasing the best of British fresh produce.
JAZZ™ showcased why it’s so popular when it comes to taste, flavour and crunch after scooping first and second prize in the ‘Tastiest Apple’ category. It’s the third time in five years that JAZZ™ has won the ‘Tastiest Apple’ award.
This year, the first placed JAZZ™ were grown by Peter Chandler and the team at Chandler and Dunn, who have been farming the East Kent landscape for over 200 years, and the JAZZ™ grown by Simon Bray of Monks Farms in Kent picked up second place in the contest.
As always we love to hear from our fans when they’ve not only spotted their first JAZZ™ of the season but also crunched down on one too so when you do get see your first then get in touch with us via our social media pages using the hashtag #JazzMoments. Happy crunching!
