Organic Kettleman Apricots
The Kettleman Apricot is a rich, golden orange-red apricot with a beautiful, lightly floral aroma and a bit of tartness that apricot fans love. Smooth-textured and tangy-sweet, Kettlemans are named after the California town near where the variety was bred and tested.
These attributes not only result in a pleasing, classic apricot flavor – they attest to the uniqueness of our region’s growing conditions. Warm days, cool nights and Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta breezes result in a more plump, flavorful fruit than what you typically find in the grocery store.
For our apricot season, the Kettleman matures early, reaching its full size and developing a sweet, balanced flavor profile by early-to-mid May. The Kettleman is great for eating out of handhand or is an excellent apricot for slicing into salads.
