  • Sweet, balanced flavour (13–16° Brix) with low acidity and very firm, crisp flesh.
  • Up to 12 months storage in controlled atmosphere: availability through the whole season.
  • Excellent post-storage performance: minimal shrinkage at point of sale.
  • Scab-resistant variety (Vf/Rvi6 gene): suitable for organic production.
  • Adapted to warm climates: stable colour and quality in Mediterranean regions.

A club apple with brand identity

Story® is the trade name of the Inored variety, bred by INRAE (Angers, France) from a Pinova × X6398 cross and managed as a club variety. Frifruit produces Story® as a licensed grower, with quality control from the orchard to the container.

Availability and origin
