Tiny apples, limited varieties, too much packaging
I'm so glad that British apples are offered for sale at Tesco, but wish the offering included (1) apples of a reasonable size (not everyone has young children at school and I for one would like apples which are AT LEAST 70mm across), (2) the good old, tasty varieties I knew as a child, including Cox's Orange Pippin, Discovery, Worcester, Egremont Russet and (3) loose apples rather than all this unnecessary packaging, so that I can choose my own. Thus, only 3 stars.......
Good quality and very tasty

A waste of money
I love British Apples and there are so many good varieties. Sadly these are not good - tasteless dry and woolly! I think these days supermarkets buy on look and uniformity, does anyone ever taste them? Shan’t be risking any more “ British Apples” from Tesco
Very Poor value even for UK apples
Trying to live on a pension and wanting to buy British is almost impossible. These apples were dry, tasteless, woody. Whatever has happened to Tesco Quality Control. Do they even know or try the produce they are flogging? I cant afford to waste money so I peeled and cut them, added sugar and made stewed apple with a Co-op ready-mix custard powder.
It depends upon which British apples are used
Quality varies depending on the variety chosen. Some not very good at all - soft and/or tasteless like the 'value' apples, others just OK. However I've found if you pick those that are of the 'Magic Star' variety, they are crisp and tangy and a decent alternative (far better than Braeburns) to the best Cox apples when out of season. Even better when on offer.
Bruised
These have been awful recently, got them home only to discover bruised cores and mushy apples. Back to the store again to return them. Quality control lacking in Tesco at the moment.
Juicy, tasty apples
Absolutely delicious! so good to see British apples in the shops in place of those French ones. Buy British, make Britain great again :-)
Soft and bruised - would not buy again

Lovely sweet crisp Opal apples
I Like to order British food where possible. This week my apples were Opal, ( 6 of them) I've never heard of them before but they are lovely! Crunchy, sweet, juicy and surprisingly bright yellow skin, which is not too tough to eat . I think kids would love them too. I will look out for these again. Thanks Tesco.
