Apricots Provencal, 1kg

Provencal Apricots 1kg are 1kg of Provencal apricots – the small, intensely sweet and fragrant apricots grown in the sun-drenched orchards of Provence. Provencal apricots have a depth of flavour and fragrance that imported varieties cannot match. As a result, they make an outstanding jam, tart and compote and are equally good eaten fresh when fully ripe. Furthermore, the combination of warm days and cool nights in Provence produces apricots with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. In particular, they are available only briefly in midsummer – a genuinely seasonal pleasure.

About Provencal Apricots 1kg

We source our fruit from specialist growers and importers across Britain, Europe and beyond. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour, ripeness and provenance. As a result, the fruit we deliver meets a standard well above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, we prioritise varieties with genuine character over commodity produce bred purely for shelf life and appearance. These varieties exist because growers selected them for taste, not yield or resilience in transit. However, they require more careful handling and a shorter supply chain. In particular, the finest fruit is always seasonal – it arrives at its peak and disappears just as quickly. Additionally, we work only with suppliers who understand this. A short supply chain from orchard or grove to your door makes all the difference. That is why Provencal Apricots 1kg from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Provencal Apricots 1kg From Us

Cooking and eating with genuinely fine fruit transforms everyday preparations. In contrast to commodity fruit, these varieties carry flavour, aroma and character that rewards both simple eating and careful cooking. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, quality fruit always speaks for itself. We deliver direct from our suppliers so you receive fruit at its prime. However, even the finest fruit needs a little attention. In particular, most fruit is best stored at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerated only once it reaches the right stage. Moreover, cold storage suppresses both aroma and flavour. Additionally, the variety and provenance of what you buy matters. That is why we choose these fruits so carefully.

How to Use Provencal Apricots 1kg

• Eat fresh at room temperature when fully ripe – press gently near the stone to check ripeness.
• Halve, stone and roast at 180 degrees with honey, vanilla and a splash of Muscat for 20 minutes.
• Furthermore, Provencal apricots make an outstanding tart with frangipane in a butter pastry case.

Perfect Pairings

Provencal Apricots 1kg pairs beautifully with:

• Good vanilla cream, creme fraiche or almond ice cream

• A glass of Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise, Sauternes or a dry Provence rose

Storage: Store at room temperature until fully ripe. Once ripe, refrigerate and use within a few days. However, cold storage suppresses aroma and flavour – always return to room temperature before eating. Furthermore, most fruit is best used as soon as possible after delivery for the finest flavour. Delivered at the right stage of ripeness and ready to enjoy.

However you enjoy it, Provencal Apricots 1kg brings a depth of flavour and quality that commodity produce simply cannot match. Moreover, the finest seasonal fruit is one of the great pleasures of the table.
