Apricot Compote

The apricots are harvested during the summer in our orchards in Alba, which surround the farm. The fruit is processed within a few hours of harvesting, as soon as it arrives in the production department. The production process is simple and natural: the apricots are cooked without adding sucrose, but with alternative, natural ingredients to enhance their original sweetness. The result is a genuine compote with a fresh and authentic taste. As proof of its quality, 175 grams of fresh, juicy apricots are used to make 100 grams of compote.

Varietal characteristics

Apricots (Prunus armeniaca L.) are the fruits of a tree belonging to the family Rosaceae, subfamily Prunoideae, genus Prunus. Their origin is uncertain, with three main areas of distribution: China, Central Asia and the Iranian-Caucasus region. In China, the tree has been cultivated for more than 4,000 years, and its introduction to Europe was thanks to the Romans. The plant can reach 10-11 meters in height, but inItaly it is usually cultivated using the “sapling” method, limiting the height to 2.5-3 meters. Method also used on our farm. The flowers of the apricot tree have five petals with a white color tending to pink, while the leaves are elliptical with sharp points and a serrated edge. The round-shaped fruits have a reddish-yellow skin and succulent flesh, rich in vitamin A. Apricots are delicious to enjoy freshly picked, but they lend themselves equally well to storage and processing, allowing them to be enjoyed out of season.

Apricots, fructose.
