Our premium niche variety, PIÑATA!® has made waves in its first two years on the market. Each year the trees get stronger, the fruit gets better, and the excitement at retail builds. We expect another great season this fall & winter as consumers continue to clamor for something new.
The cultivar was named “Apple of the Year” in 2000 in Germany where it was discovered. Today Stemilt is proud to be the exclusive grower and marketer in the U.S. of this up-and-coming variety. |
 Pinata truly is a surprise for your taste buds and worthy of consumer programs. Consider the results of a third-party blind taste test funded by Stemilt. Each variety (Pinata, Gala, Braeburn, Fuji) was given to consumers randomly (to reduce bias). In each main category, Pinata rated slightly higher than the other popular varieties. |
