Sandringham Apple Juice - Laxton's Fortune
Made from the finest single variety apples pressed and bottled on the Sandringham Estate 🍎🍏
A much loved and ever popular fruit, this dessert applies one of the varieties that are sweet enough to be eaten ‘straight from the tree’. One of the delights for any home gardener is watching apples ripen on the tree and then deciding which ones are ready to be harvested. Also commonly known as Fortune. A Bedfordshire apple, raised in 1904 but not introduced until 1931.

About the brand
The Sandringham Estate spans approximately 20,000 acres, much of which is farmland.
During World War II, an additional 500 acres were ploughed to support the war effort under King George VI. It was King George who first planted apple trees at Sandringham, and the royal family's commitment to the farm has continued ever since.
The orchards were established in 1953, the year of Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation, and have remained unchanged since then. In addition to filling the royal fruit bowl, the apples are used to produce Sandringham Apple Juice, which can be found on supermarket shelves.
Today, around 140,000 bottles of Sandringham Apple Juice are produced and distributed annually, including to royal garden parties at Buckingham Palace and Holyrood Palace in Scotland, as well as to the farm shops at Windsor and the Spaghetti House restaurants in London.
