J.P. Dulcich & Sons, a grower of premium California table grapes, unveiled a new grape variety, the Green Emerald, The new proprietary green seedless grape will be available only through Sunlight International Sales.
Noting that consumers have increasingly gone for green grapes that are larger and sweeter than most varieties in most stores, the Dulcich family set out to develop a green variety that fits the perfect profile of size and flavor. In 2007, Dulcich & Sons found an original variety of green grape that was large in size but still contained a hard seed trace. They put it through a two-year selection process that resulted in a dedicated test parcel planted in 2009. After two more years of production and market testing, the new variety finally was ready for expanded plantings. The resulting variety was seedless, extra large, super sweet with high brix, crunchy, and flavorful. Expected availability will be mid-August through the end of November.
"We realized that customers were not getting the green grapes they wanted, so we decided to find the perfect grapes ourselves," said Nick Dulcich, President of Sunlight International Sales, the marketing arm of J.P. Dulcich & Sons. "Fresh, big green grapes with sweet flavor and a healthy crunch. That's what customers want, and that's the Green Emerald. This is the best green grape I have ever seen. It has size and taste and has an incredible shelf life."
