Productinformation Around april and may apricot trees are in full bloom. But during this time of year, when nights can still be very cold, it is a dangerous time for the forthcoming harvest – which is then around july and august. Apricots get shaken off of the trees by hand, and afterwards are layed down on big awnings. There the fruits will dry for three more days until they are pitted and brought to fumigation boards. Afterwards they are once more dried in the sun, which can take up to ten days - until they are dried down to an amount of moisture around fifteen percent. Origin Dried apricots originate mainly from Turkey, the Middle East and Southwest Aisa. But also in South Africa, the US (California) and Australia apricots are harvested in a large amount.

is obtained from the fruits of the apricot tree. The origin of the apricot tree is in China. The Romans brought it to the Mediaterranean region. Since the 18th century the tree has been cultivated in the USA. The harvest in Europe is in july. The apricot tree reaches a hight of three to four meters. Its fruits are round and four to eight cm big. The fruits are light yellow to orange red. Its kernels are hard and ovally shaped. The oil content of the kernels is 40% to 50%. To obtain the apricot kernel oil the fruits must be picked and the fruit flesh must be removed. The remaining kernels must be cleaned, split and the seeds extracted. Finally the seeds get pressed. The obtained oil is light yellow to yellow, tastes and smells nutty, like marzipan. It has a high content of essential fatty acid residues, vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids.
