Some ingredients are quiet workhorses; apricot paste is not one of them. Bright orange, tangy-sweet, and unmistakably sunny, it brings both colour and character to whatever it touches. That visual lift is a genuine commercial asset — a glaze or a filling made with real apricot paste looks as appealing as it tastes.
Colour and flavour from the fruit alone
The vivid hue is not added; it is the apricot's own carotenoid colour, concentrated as the fruit is sun-dried and pureed. The flavour follows the same logic — a sweetness balanced by a clean tang, with no need for acidulants or flavouring. Because the paste is 100% fruit, that brightness comes with a clean label.
A genuinely two-sided ingredient
Apricot's balance of sweet and tart is what makes it so flexible:
- Sweet applications — fruit fillings, Danish and pastry glazes, cake layers, and confectionery centres;
- Savoury applications — glazes for meat and poultry, tagine-style sauces, and dressings where a fruity acidity is wanted.
Few fruit ingredients move so easily between the two, which is why apricot paste often becomes a year-round line rather than a seasonal one.
Sunshine you can specify
The brightness only sells if it is consistent. Our apricot paste is made from Malatya fruit, pureed and packed at our İzmir facility to a written specification, with a Certificate of Analysis per lot and food-grade pail, drum, or aseptic IBC packing. It rounds out a three-line range with our date paste and fig paste.
