Apricot
Description: The apricot is the quintessential fruit signaling the arrival of summer. Prized for its velvety skin and its orange, melting, and fragrant flesh, it offers a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. As a climacteric fruit, it continues to ripen after being picked, although its sugar content remains fixed once detached from the tree. It is consumed fresh, but also excels cooked in compotes, tarts, or jams thanks to its richness in pectin. French varieties, such as the Bergeron or the Red Apricot from Roussillon (PDO), are particularly renowned for their superior taste qualities.
