The apple is much more than an everyday fruit: it is a symbol of seasonality, naturalness and greed, which the SICOLY cooperative is committed to promoting with commitment. Thanks to a strong foothold in the Coteaux du Lyonnais, and a dynamic of continuous varietal research, our producers grow apples that are both tasty, resistant and in line with current environmental expectations.

Ariane Les Naturianes®: SICOLY’s® signature variety

The Ariane Les Naturianes® apple is a variety that is naturally resistant to diseases, which considerably limits treatments in the orchard. It embodies the alliance of taste and respect for the environment:

• Crunchy and juicy,
• Sweet and tangy,
• Perfect for chewing as well as cooking.

As a pioneer in this production in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, SICOLY is multiplying replanting projects and distributing this variety via SICODIS, an approved distributor in the region.

A wide range of varieties for all uses

SICOLY also grows a range of varieties that are well known to consumers and professionals:

• Golden : sweet, melting, ideal for cooking and tasting.
• Gala : sweet, very aromatic, prized fresh.
• Fuji : crunchy, juicy, very popular as a healthy snack.
• Canada : rustic and fragrant, perfect for pies.
• Granny Smith : tangy and tonic, ideal for salty and sweet.

Zero waste, 100% recovery

In a circular economy logic, SICOLY® values all of its production. Granny Smiths that do not meet the aesthetic standards of the fresh market are entirely transformed into frozen fruit puree for gastronomy professionals. A concrete way to reduce food waste, while guaranteeing high quality products, with an intense taste and faithful to the fresh fruit.
