Apricot Chambertine

Tasting Notes of the Curator

The fruit is juicy, moderately sweet and tangy, to eat ripe. Their soft flesh and skin are a pleasure for the senses. They announce the beginning of French summer and are a perfect treat for the whole family.

Pairing suggestion

Eat as is, or pair with a Kurimu Shoyu Caramel ice cream and some berries.

Storage Instructions

Apricots continue to ripen after picking. They should be stored at room temperature, away from sunlight and heat until they give softly to the touch and have a sweet aroma. Once ripe, refrigerate apricots as necessary to prevent spoiling, but cold temperatures may change their texture and taste.
