Dried Apricots, California Blenheim

Our dried California Blenheim apricots apricots are truly gourmet apricots. Available in limited quantities, our delicious fruits are grown and dried on-site at a small, family-owned farm. Our dried apricots are sun-dried whole without the pit, giving them a luscious, juicy texture. Perfect for snacking, these moist fruits are great for baking, cooking, and edible decoration. Dried California apricots are larger than the Turkish varieties commonly found in grocery stores, and the Blenheim is considered by apricot aficionados to be the finest in taste. To create these delicious snacks, whole ripe fruit is dried in the sun and the pit gently removed, creating a juicy and plump treat with a unique tart and tangy sweetness. The apricots are also processed with a minimum of sulfur dioxide. For that reason, we recommend storing these luscious dried fruits in the refrigerator after opening.

Dried California Blenheim Apricots Are the Best Dried Apricots in the Market

Dried apricots are available almost anywhere snack foods are sold, as well as in the produce section of most supermarkets. However, you can be certain that the apricots sold there are not the prized California Blenheim variety. Blenheim varieties are only grown in certain selected areas and in limited quantities. The low quantity is due to the fact that this variety is extremely delicate, has a short shelf life, and does not ship well in its fresh state. These factors mean that these apricots are going to cost more. But for the dried apricot aficionado there is no substitute for the Blenheim. If you love the taste of a fine apricot, then OliveNation dried Blenheims might be your new favorite. Try some today! We warn you though, they are addictive!
