French Apricots, Fresh, +/-1kg

Introducing French Apricots!

These fresh apricots come from the South of France and are harvested at their peak maturity, ensuring they have absorbed the maximum nutritional value. The rich pink and orange hues of these fruits reflect their vibrant flavour profile.

Our French apricots boast a balanced combination of good acidity and a sweet undertone, making them both refreshing and indulgent. The flesh is tender yet firm, offering a satisfying bite that is juicy and succulent. Whether enjoyed straight from the fruit bowl or cooked into a savoury dish, French apricots bring a burst of flavour and a touch of elegance to any meal.
