IQF Frozen Fruit & Zest

Frozen Apricot Halves

Morocco

For its frozen apricot halves, Maison Ponthier has selected fruit grown in Moroccan orchards, renowned for their generous sunshine and ideal climate. The chosen apricots come from carefully selected varieties known for their exceptional flavour, with soft orange flesh that is naturally sweet and aromatic. Harvested at peak ripeness, the fruits are delicately halved and rapidly frozen to retain their tender texture, intense aroma and vibrant colour.

These apricot halves are ideal for use in pastry, culinary preparations, or ice cream, offering a ready-to-use ingredient with an authentic, unaltered taste. No added sugar or preservatives – just premium-quality fruit designed for the most demanding creations.
