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
Harvested in autumn (Northern Hemisphere), about 15–25 days after Golden Delicious, with commercial availability from October and — thanks to its long storage — through much of the season. Origin: Spain / Catalonia.
Story® specialists from the very start
At Frifruit we were among the first growers to plant the Story® variety in Spain. That early commitment, many years ago, has made us specialists in its growing, storage and marketing, and today we are a benchmark in positioning the Story® apple both nationally and internationally. We know the variety like few others: from the orchard to the point of sale, we master every stage to guarantee the highest quality.
