Consistency

Dark colour, hard texture and sweet flavour with a sour note.

Our Dried Apricots are of Italian origin. They are of the Portici variety, an ancient variety also called ‘la bella di Imola’.

Once harvested, washed and pitted, they are processed in a ‘gentle’ drying process at low temperatures, with no other ingredients or sugars added.

When we think of apricots, we think of summer, hot weather and holidays, especially if we remember childhood.

You know the classic fluorescent orange apricot you find in the supermarket and full of sugar. Well, forget it 🙂 🙂

Ours is a natural apricot, which is as natural as it gets. This means that not only does it look different, but it tastes different too!

The fruit is darker to the eye, since it does not contain sulphites and preservatives.

The texture is hard, not crunchy, but pleasant. Its taste is not very sweet, with a sourish note, like that of a freshly picked apricot.

Perfect to combine with sweeter fruits such as dried blueberries or sultanas for the perfect balance of sweetness.

Did you also know that apricots are invaluable in cases of anaemia or tiredness during the change of seasons? They are in fact very rich in potassium.

Among dehydrated fruits, the apricot is one of the least caloric. Not only that, it will fill you up with group A and B vitamins, minerals and fibre. It is especially rich in beta-carotene, which is essential for maintaining healthy eyes and skin.

Our dried fruit is 100% natural.

It contains no additives or preservatives.

We do not add sugars; only those that the fruit has naturally are present.
We import it directly from the producers, without middlemen or long storage periods.

In some cases, we produce it ourselves in artisan workshops with the help of professional biologists.

Frequently asked questions and tips

What is the recommended daily portion of dehydrated fruit?

Our dehydrated fruit should be considered the same as fresh fruit in that it has no additives or added sugars. In fact, it contains all the nutrients of the original fruit, from which, however, around 90% of the water is removed by drying.

This means that 40 g of dehydrated fruit, which is an excellent daily portion, corresponds to about 300/350 g of its fresh counterpart.
An example? 40 g of our dehydrated apple corresponds on average to 2 fresh apples.

At what times of day is it best to eat dehydrated fruit?

The best times to eat dehydrated fruit are, as with fresh fruit, certainly at snacks away from the main meals. This way, the fruit will be better digested and assimilated.

Does your dehydrated fruit contain sugar?

All our dehydrated fruit does NOT contain added sugars, only those originating from the fruit.

We strongly believe that it does not need any added sugar either for taste or for storage. In fact, it tastes sweet enough on its own.

Is dehydrated fruit suitable for coeliacs?

Our dehydrated fruit is produced from the original fresh fruit, without the addition of additives, flours or sugars.

Dehydrated fruit is naturally gluten-free. However, products containing gluten are processed in our factory, so cross contamination may occur.

What is the difference between dehydrated and dried fruit?

There is no difference, they are synonymous. Dehydrated/dried fruit is fresh fruit from which approximately 90% water is removed by drying.

What to do if the fruit turns out to be hard?

Drying process removes about 90 percent water from the fruit in order to allow it to be stored for a long time. This process may make the fruit harder. If it turns out too hard for your taste, you can soften it by letting it steep in boiling water for 10 to 15 minutes.
