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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Apricots are harvested during the summer in our Alba orchards surrounding the farm. The fruit is processed a few hours after picking as soon as it arrives in the production department.The production process is very simple and natural and involves cooking the apricots with only the addition of cane sugar in order to obtain a tasty, fresh and natural compote. This is proven by the amount of fruit used; 145 grams of juicy fresh apricots are used to produce 100 grams of jam. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7927,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[65,563],"product_tag":[761],"class_list":{"0":"post-10202","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-confetture","7":"product_cat-le-originali","8":"product_tag-apricots","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-variable"},"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mprunotto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/10202","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mprunotto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mprunotto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mprunotto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mprunotto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mprunotto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=10202"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mprunotto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=10202"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mprunotto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=10202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
