The apricot (Prunus armeniaca) belongs to the rose family (Rosaceae) and is one of the oldest cultivated stone fruits. Originally from northeastern China, it made its way to Europe through Anatolia. Today, it is primarily grown in Mediterranean countries, but also further north, such as in the Val Venosta in South Tyrol, where Alpe Pragas sources most of its apricots.

The Val Venosta apricot is distinguished by its bright orange to reddish, velvety skin and firm, juicy flesh. Thanks to the climatic conditions in the highlands of Val Venosta, it develops a particularly intense flavour.

Taste: Sweet, delicate, yet with a fine hint of acidity – the Val Venosta apricot offers a perfect balance of fruitiness and freshness. Its full-bodied, sun-ripened aroma is truly remarkable.
