Apricot
Harvested at the height of ripeness, our apricots are cut in halves and flash-frozen to preserve their tender texture and sweet-tart flavour. Perfect for baking, sauces, and snacking, they bring a burst of summer freshness to any dish.
Our frozen apricots are sourced from premium Egyptian orchards and carefully processed to preserve their natural sweetness, vibrant color, and aroma. Available in halves and diced pieces, these apricots are individually quick-frozen to maintain quality, making them ideal for bakery, jam, puree, juice, dessert, and foodservice applications.
