Description:
Our wild organic Fairtrade apricots come from wild apricot trees, something you can taste right away! Their taste is much more intense and stronger, slightly acidic and much more aromatic than normal apricots. The colors vary between a strong golden orange and dark brown. They are still soft in consistency, but sometimes they are already firm and hard, but in any case less soft than ordinary apricots. So something special, our organic apricots are filled by hand with delicious peeled sweet apricot kernels. An absolutely unique treat for the palate, a specialty that used to be reserved for the noble rulers only!
Origin and manufacture:
We source our wild organic Fairtrade apricots exclusively from Uzbekistan. They mature there on wild trees in the scenic remote mountain regions around Samarkand. The area is largely organic and FAIRTRADE certified and is farmed by the FAIRTRADE farmers who live there. The farmers belong to a large Fairtrade community made up of 2 groups, Dustkul Bogi and Turob Bobo. They include around 1,000 individual farmers, along with their families. Thanks to the cooperation with Fairtrade, the farmers can offer their families a secure income and their children a new perspective. After harvesting, the apricots are washed, stoned and then gently dried with the help of the sun. Shortly before drying is complete, the apricots are filled with peeled apricot kernels by hand. The drying process used is a very environmentally friendly solar drying method that is extremely gentle on the product. In Austria, the wild apricots filled with apricot kernels are pressure treated. When it comes to printing, the interaction of pressure and time ensures absolute freedom from pests.
