Bramley's Seedling Scionwood

The Cidermaker's Secret Weapon

Bramley's Seedling is the most famous culinary apple in Britain — and one of the most powerful tools in a cidermaker's arsenal. Its extraordinarily high acidity and bold, tart flavour make it a transformative blending apple, capable of lifting an entire batch from flat to electric with just the right proportion in the mix.

At The Orchard Point Prim, we grow Bramley's for the cidermakers who know what it can do. A small addition to a bittersweet-heavy blend sharpens the finish, brightens the colour, and adds a mouthwatering zing that keeps drinkers coming back for another sip.

• Classification: Sharp / Culinary
• Flavour profile: Intense green apple, citrus zest, tart gooseberry

Use it wisely and it will make everything around it taste better — the hallmark of a truly great ingredient.
