Born with good taste
When you asked for a more flavorful apple, Cameo® growers delivered!
Because consumers value taste and crunch over anything else in an apple, the premium Cameo apple was grown specifically to satisfy that desire. How did they do it? By reducing the emphasis on the red color — which tends to produce a thick-skinned, mealy apple — they were able to keep the skin ultra thin, the flavor a perfect combination of sweet and tart, and the flesh extra-crunchy.
A perspective on flavor
To get an idea of where Cameo flavor fits in with other apples, on a sweetness scale of one to 10, with Red Delicious and Fuji the sweetest at 10, Granny Smith the most tart at one, and Cameo hitting the right balance in the middle with a five. Half sweet, half tart. Perfect for all uses!
