The 2025 Ambrosia apple season is officially underway, giving apple lovers the chance to enjoy the ultra-sweet flavour and juicy texture of this beloved variety that’s stolen hearts across the country.
A standout in Montague Farms’ premium range, Ambrosia apples are known for their exceptional aroma and delicate honey notes. With more than 100,000 Ambrosia apple trees planted across nearly 40 hectares nationwide, this season promises to be an outstanding one, delivering the luscious, juicy sweetness it’s known for.
Named after the mythical “food of the gods”, Ambrosia trees produce stunning pinkish-white blossoms in spring, which mature into vibrant red-blushed apples by autumn. Requiring well-drained soil and full sun exposure, these orchards thrive under the meticulous care of Montague Farm’s expert growers, with each harvest 100% handpicked.
Food connoisseurs, including the “queen of fresh” Alice Zaslavsky, recommend pairing Ambrosia apples with cheese for a refined culinary experience. To Alice, refreshingly aromatic Ambrosia “doesn’t require anything done to it to make it delicious.” For further apple snacking genius, craft Alice’s easy Ambrosia Apple & Honey Salsa with Grilled Halloumi.
Ambrosia apples are stocked at Woolworths, Coles, Costco, and select independent greengrocers across Australia.
