We started our path in the core of Malatya, the centre of apricot production in Turkey, and nowadays, we export the high-quality dried apricots to all parts of the world. we have already explained to you a bit about our products and their popularity worldwide. So now we would like to take you to a step further as to tell you why our Turkish Dried Apricots are not an ordinary one and what is more special about our operations, quality, and values.
What Makes Turkish Dried Apricots So Unique?
Our philosophy is that quality begins at the ground up and this ideology has found its ways to our products. Our apricots are cultivated on the fertile soils of Malatya where the soil rich in nutrients and an abundant amount of sun combine to produce sweet apricots, soft textures, and golden colour. However, geography is not the only thing here. It also has to do with care. Whether it is a fresh or a frozen fruit, it is handled with care using traditional practices, which are coupled with the current food safety regulations.
The result? A dried apricot that is sweet and tasty and lives up to international standards. This is the sort of quality that has earned the Turkish Dried Apricots its reputation in the international markets.
A Look Inside Our Drying Process
People ask us how to dry apricots. The solution is easy but intensely knowledge oriented. Our apricots are sun dried several days under the natural sunlight – this way they maintain their nutrients, colour and flavour. The process of sun-drying is an ancient method and it is the method we still stick to since it is the best in keeping natural goodness.
Sulphured dried apricots are also available, which have more of a golden look and a longer shelf life. Much of this is then dried using food-grade sulphur dioxide (SO2) to preserve their golden colour. Regardless of whether it is either sun-dried or sulphured, the product passes through rigorous sorting, cleaning, and packaging in our fully certified establishment.
Health Benefits You Can Trust
People really love Turkish Dried Apricots as it is not only tasty but also nutritious. Our apricots are full of fiber and this is beneficial to the digestive system. They are also rich in potassium which boosts the heart and muscles. They also consist of powerful antioxidants such as beta- carotene and vitamin-A. Also they are fat free, and cholesterol free.
We are not only offering a delicious snack but a natural energy and well-being. The health benefits of the products can be enjoyed on every bite whether you are health conscious, food manufacturer or retailer.
We Export to the World
We have forged good trade ties with different continents. Our Turkish Dried Apricots are exported to the United States, Canada, Europe and Middle East, to more than 50 countries.
We understand that each of the countries has its standards and preferences in first-rate culinary. That is why we have packaging, labelling and PPM (sulphur) levels customized to meet the client needs. You want organic dried apricots in Europe or industrial grade of apricots in Asia and when you want them, we will deliver them consistently and with care.
We Offer Multiple Varieties
We do not believe in a black and white treatment. This is the reason our product line is developed to serve a great variety of needs. We have naturally brown, sun-dried apricots which are delicious. And some prefer a tighter, yellower colour as well as a longer shelf life which we can offer too in our sulphured higher shelf-life dried apricots. Our certified Organic Dried Apricots are an excellent choice of chemical-free option, especially when you want to avoid eating 0-chemical because of the intolerance or allergy to them.

Besides dried apricots, we also provide apricot kernels to those customers who are interested in both the fruit and the seed. As a wholesaler, retail stores or a private label brand, we are all geared up to fulfil your exact demands.
How We Support Local Farmers
We closely collaborate with Malatya-based farmers who have been growing apricots for many years. Our relations are founded on the mutual respect and long-time partnerships. Healthy prices, training and support enable us to reassure the farmers that their families thrive. It can assist us also to ensure that we have a high and consistent quality of supply all year round.
At this point, buying items through us also helps a network of local growers, workers, and communities. It goes beyond the business and it is a mission.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
We are a nature-based company and sustainability is not a trend to us. We do not use electricity and find alternative, dipping our product in the sun so there is no artificial heating process involved in our production which lowers our carbon footprint. Water conservation, waste, and biodegradable packaging are areas of our interest as well.
