Apricots

Apricots

The emblematic fruit of the canton, the Valais apricot is produced by sun-drenched orchards from Sierre to Martigny. 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, stir-fried dishes, tartares and even carpaccios.
