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
