About McIntosh

McIntosh is one of the most iconic apples in North America, discovered in 1811 by John McIntosh on his farm in Ontario, Canada. With over two centuries of history, it has become a household favorite, loved for its fragrant aroma, balanced flavor, and versatility in the kitchen. Its classic apple scent alone can transport you straight into autumn.

Dressed in bright red skin often brushed with green, McIntosh boasts snowy white flesh that’s crisp at first bite but quickly turns tender and juicy. Its flavor is a harmonious mix of sweet and tangy, with a refreshing brightness that keeps you coming back for more. This unique balance makes it just as delightful for snacking as it is for baking — especially in pies, crisps, and sauces where its softening texture works beautifully.

McIntosh isn’t just an apple; it’s a taste of tradition, carrying the charm of orchards past into every bite.
