Apricots / Apriums

Fruit Patch has perfected the ripening process to ensure delivery of the juiciest, sweetest and best tasting fruit to our consumers. There are two methods used to ripen our fruit:

• Pre-ripening
  • Only the strongest varieties are selected
  • Upon harvest, each lot is checked for quality, brix and pressures
  • For the sweetest and juiciest taste, only the first and second harvest picks are used
  • Fruit is held in our state-of-the-art ripening room, complete with computer controlled humidity and temperature settings
  • Fruit is constantly monitored for any reduction in pressure and increase in juiciness
  • Random sampling is conducted to ensure ideal flavor during and after the packing process
• Tree Ripening
  • All natural ripening occurs on the tree
  • Fruit is harvested at optimum maturity with ideal brix and pressures
  • Varieties are carefully selected for flavor and vibrant skin color
  • Each lot is checked for top quality before and after packing

From display bins to point of sale materials to clam shell packaging, Fruit Patch can customize a marketing program to meet a variety of needs.
