NZ Apple Products

In 1933, young Mr. Fred Clark saw the potential of his land and immersed himself in the world of apple husbandry. This has been followed by a further two generations of Clarks’, producing only the highest quality fresh apples.

In 1996 Mr. Clarks Grandson Stephan, joined the family orchard business. He had always dreamed of making healthier snacks using the finest apples grown on their orchards.
In 1999, Stephan saw a great opportunity and the potential to start developing ‘apple snacks’, after seeing his good American friend importing dried apples into New Zealand.

Stephan with much determination and ingenuity made a start and in 2000 built an operation that could produce 12 tons of dried apple rings a year. Apple rings were produced for export markets and we launched our domestic program in 2017.

In 2019, New Zealand Apple Products produced over 200 tons of dried apple rings and is now the largest apple drying company in New Zealand. We have also expanded our operation to manufacturing Freeze Dried snacks and Fruit Puree pouches for both domestic and international markets.

The Freeze Drying process is one of several techniques for food preservation and is considered one of the best drying methods. This process consists of reducing the temperature of the product to below freezing, and then applying a high-pressure vacuum to extract the water by sublimation. Due to the nature of this process, there is minimal alteration to the physical structure, colour and negligible loss of nutrients. Another benefit, it has excellent rehydration capability due to the development of it’s porous texture. For this reason, New Zealand Apple Products have created a range of freeze dried products.

We utilise the latest Freeze Drying technology to create a unique crunchy texture and a wonderful natural flavour experience from the best high-quality New Zealand Fruit.
