HISTORY
A trusted component of many culture
Regardless of origin, apricots are an invaluable part of many
cultures around the world. Even the Ancient Egyptians prepared their
traditional drinks from the flesh of apricots. The English settlers, on the
other hand, did not give up on the exceptional apricot oil, which they used
internally and externally. And it is only thanks to the pioneering Greeks that
we can enjoy them here in Europe.
PROCESSING
Cold pressed
The apricot (Prunus Armeniaca) is a world-famous fruit tree native
to China. The much appreciated apricot oil is extracted from the kernels
of its fruit in the most gentle way, by cold pressing.
COMPOSITION AND PROPERTIES
Unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, bio-active compounds…
Apricot oil is composed mainly of unsaturated fatty acids,
of which oleic acid (71,6 %) and the essential omega-6 fatty acid linoleic
acid (21,4 %) are the most abundant.
By keeping the pressing temperatures low and omitting the refining process,
the maximum amount of valuable bio-active compounds, vitamins,
provitamins and other beneficial substances are preserved in the
oil.
USE
For fruit salads, spreads, marinades…
Apricot oil is characterised by its pleasantly mild taste and melting
consistency. It is perfect for fruit salads, spreads, marinades and
many other cold dishes where it adds a smooth and appealingly full flavour.
You can also pour it over cold porridges, fruit dumplings and pancakes.
