Sweet Surprise as Ambrosia Apples Go Hollywood in Oscars Nominee Gift Bags
Ambrosia apples are proud to step up as a first-time, fresh produce item in the Oscar Nominee’s official gift bags.
With the countdown to the 87th Annual Oscars in full swing, Hollywood’s biggest night beckons with the allure of the red carpet, golden statues and glamorous celebrities mixing it up with the evening’s nominees. But for those Oscar hopefuls who don’t win the major Academy Awards categories of Best Actor/Actress, Best Supporting Actor/Actress and Best Director – there’s still a happily-ever-after waiting in the wings, thanks to Ambrosia apples.
“Ambrosia apples really are exceptional, worthy of Hollywood’s best”
Ambrosia apples are proud to step up as a first-time, featured item in the official gift bags that non-winners in the major categories receive. Ambrosia apples stand out as the only fresh produce item to be included in this year’s gift bag, and will join an impressive $80,000+ worth of merchandise as part of the “Everybody Wins at the Oscars” nominee gift baskets.
With a name that means “food of the gods,” Ambrosia apples are right at home on Oscars night. Ambrosia is a relative newcomer on the American-grown apple landscape, after being discovered as a chance seedling in Canada. They truly are the ultimate eating apple. Perfect for snacking or enjoying with wine and cheese, Ambrosia apples are incredibly versatile with their creamy flesh and sweet, honey-like flavor.
“Ambrosia apples really are exceptional, worthy of Hollywood’s best,” said Steve Lutz, Vice President of Marketing for Columbia Marketing International, Inc. “While the award nominee gift bag is always unique, sweet, crisp Ambrosia apples have earned their moment in the spotlight as well. We’re delighted to have Ambrosia apples included.”
Ambrosia apples in the United States are exclusively grown by McDougall & Sons, family-owned fruit farming company in Wenatchee, Washington with roots going back over 100 years. All Ambrosia apples are non-GMO. After 10 years of orchard development, both organic and conventionally grown Ambrosia apples are now available nationally in leading food markets. One Ambrosia apple retails for approximately $1.00.
