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 more than 80 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.
