Discover our apricots

The apricot is a fruit with sweet, firm flesh that is not very juicy.

Its skin is velvety and edible. The color of an apricot’s skin can vary, ranging from yellow to red. It may even be dotted with “freckles.” However, apricots continue to ripen after they are picked. Therefore, their color is not an indication of ripeness.

This fruit has a high carotene content, which is rich in provitamin A. It is the carotene that gives the apricot its orange color.
