French Gala Apples
The French Gala is a masterpiece of European pomology. Grown in the sun-drenched orchards of France, these apples benefit from a perfect balance of warm days and cool nights, which enhances their sugar content and creates their signature stripy, red-orange skin. French Gala is beloved for its "user-friendly" flavor—sweet, mild, and highly aromatic without being overly acidic.
