  • Cosmic Crisp's Growth Is out of This World
    - Advertisement - Cosmic Crisp's growth is out of this world 1 / 2 April 26, 2021 After a record-breaking sophomore year that hasn't finished, the Cosmic Crisp apple’s growth trajectory indicates it will launch to the top of the apple chart in no time. Nielsen data show monumental growth, reaching No. 11 in sales dollars in March, and No. 14 over the 52 weeks ending March 27. If retailers do not have a Cosmic Crisp apple program in place now, they are missing out on very important sales and customer expectations. “Cosmic Crisp volume is planned to more than double this fall, and double again for the 2022 harvest. This volume will rival current core variety volume, displacing mature varieties that are being replaced with higher color strains and higher flavor varieties,” said Catherine Gipe-Stewart, communications manager. “Cosmic Crisp is rising so quickly, it has potential to become a top-five variety at this time next year.” Nielsen data show a 595 percent increase in dollars and a 720 percent in volume over the four weeks ending March 27. In March alone, Cosmic Crisp earned the 11th spot with $4.3 million in sales and 1.8 million pounds, at an average price of $2.52 per pound, right in line with Honeycrisp at $2.55 per pound. Looking at a yearly perspective (last 52 weeks), Cosmic Crisp has earned $20 million in sales, with 7.7 million pounds. “Historically, apples like Cosmic Crisp take root in the Pacific region, and spread eastward like wildfire,” said Gipe-Stewart.

  • Old Relationships Bring New Apple Varieties to Oppenheimer
    - Advertisement - Old relationships bring new apple varieties to Oppenheimer May 22, 2012 The Oppenheimer Group has been synonymous with New Zealand apples and pears for over 60 years. But 2012 will have more flavor than ever, thanks to new partnerships with old friends. ENZA, the owner of premium varieties Jazz and Envy apples, will continue to play a pivotal role in Oppenheimer’s approach of supplying leading varieties to the North American market year round, while fruit from other growers will complement this partnership, according to John 1 / 2 Anderson, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Vancouver, BC-based Oppenheimer. “This spring we will see several varieties unique to the Heartland Group of Nelson, New Zealand, added to the portfolio of new tastes that Oppenheimer offers,” Mr. Anderson said in a May 9 press release. Cutting-edge varieties Divine, Smitten, Tentation and Eve are among the newcomers. “Together with ENZA Jazz and Envy apples, we are in a position to offer retailers the opportunity to set new expectations about apples in the minds of consumers. By reserving a slot for new varieties, our customers can rotate the newest flavors from April through October, when fresh-crop Jazz, Pacific Rose and Envy return to the market.” If this line-up wasn’t enough, Oppenheimer marketed more of the remarkable new Honey Belle pear available from KiwiCrunch of New Zealand’s Hawke’s Bay this year, according to David Nelley, Oppenheimer’s apple and pear category director. “In 2011, we experienced good success with trials of this diminutive, super-sweet, crunchy pear in Canada, and we have been building on that this spring in both the U.S.
