Cosmic Crisp apples

Cosmic Crisp is a premium apple variety developed by Washington State University (WSU) in the United States. Though originally bred in Washington State as a cross between Enterprise and Honeycrisp, the brand is managed under strict licensing.

In the European and UK markets, the brand is licensed to local growers and distributors who manage the cultivation and sales. The packaging shown indicates production or distribution managed by leading UK agricultural groups which grow the apples domestically to meet local demand while maintaining the variety's specific quality standards. The intellectual property remains owned by the university that commercialized it.
