WHAT'S IN THE BOX THIS WEEK?
Pick of the Week - Autumn Crisps Grapes & Honey Gold Mangoes
Autumn Crisps Grapes & Honey Gold Mangoes
"This week, I want to talk about a couple of extraordinary products that are quite expensive but something quite unique. It's a small window, and they're just the most fantastic fruit products for most of the year.
The first one is these loose Autumn Crisp grapes. The season is about six weeks. They're truly a magnificent piece of fruit. They're crunchy, they're sweet, and they're a new variety (American variety) but grown here in Australia. They are pushing all the other old white grapes out. In a couple of years' time, this is what you'll be buying but at the moment, we and the export market are getting are getting only big fruit, which is just fantastic. It's crunchy, it's just such a special grape. It is double the price of the of the other ones, but we are selling more and more each week. I think it's double the value.
These fabulous big Autumn Crisp grapes are coming from the Robin Valley area. There's a family down there – the Cordoma’s. I started buying off the grandfather 52 years ago, and I'm happy to say that we still deal with now the third generation of Cordoma’s, fabulous farmers. You'll see these grapes later in the season coming up, because a lot of these grape growers have now bought right up into far north Queensland. It'll take them a couple of years to get everything up and running, but you'll have these grapes from far earlier in the future.
