JONAGOLD

About Jonagold

Jonagold is a star born from a union between the beloved Golden Delicious and the tart Jonathan apples, developed in 1943 at Cornell University in New York. This apple quickly gained fame for its big, bold flavor and versatile nature. With a stunning blend of sweetness and bright tartness, Jonagold perfectly captures the best qualities of its parents — making it a favorite for apple lovers everywhere.

The skin of Jonagold often shows a beautiful golden background kissed with rosy red blushes, hinting at the complex flavors inside. Its crisp yet tender flesh offers a juicy bite that’s equally fantastic for fresh snacking, baking, or cooking. From pies to salads, Jonagold’s balanced taste and versatility make it an all-around winner—a true crowd-pleaser for every orchard, every kitchen, and every occasion.
