Apricots
The apricots which we trade origin mainly from the area of Peloponnese (Argos, Korinthos) and smaller quantities origin from Macedonia (Velvendo, Veroia, Naoussa) and Thessalia (Tyrnavos).
There are many apricot cultivars which we handle such as Primando, Aurora, Primaia, Premious, Orange Red, Tirinthos, Nimfa, Sun Giant, Bebecu, Farial and Farclo. Production starts by the end of May with Primando cultivar and lasts up to the end of August with Farclo. Crop is done almost at the same time in Macedonia, Thessalia and Peloponnese with only small time variations between each variety. Apricots are sensitive fruit so they need special care in all handling stages. For this reason we propose to our clients to prefer apricots which are directly in the farmyard processed (one touch method) in order to have the optimum preservation results. |
