Apricots
The Prince of the Valais orchard
The emblematic fruit of the canton, the Valais apricot is produced by sun-drenched orchards. With an attractive reddish-orange colour, a velvety skin and a sweet, acidic flavour, it is one of summer’s indulgent pleasures and is equally at home in both sweet and savoury recipes: tarts, jams, juices, sorbets, tartares and even carpaccios. Which will you choose? Buy the Prince of the Valais orchard from one of the many points of sale and put a ray of sunshine on your plate.
One thousand flavours
If the Luizet du Valais reigned for a long time as a master, today 100 varieties which allow the spreading out of the harvest. From the earliest to the latest, the different varieties of Valais apricots can be enjoyed throughout the summer.
