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.

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.
