The orange velvet of early summer
Grown across the Maghreb, the Apricot flowers early and yields melting fruit from June, with particularly fragrant local varieties.
Its short, concentrated harvest makes it a seasonal fruit par excellence, dried or made into jam to keep through the year.
"An apricot cannot be stored — it is picked and savoured on the spot."
