Description

Bring classic orchard sweetness and golden sun-ripened flavor to your dessert table with Del Monte Apricot Halves in Light Syrup (400g / 420g). Packed by Del Monte—a globally trusted name synonymous with high fruit quality standards—these premium apricots (Prunus armeniaca) are carefully selected, pitted, halved, and submerged in light syrup to retain their succulent flesh and delicate aroma.

Whether utilized as a glossy decorative topping for French patisserie or spooned over morning porridge, Del Monte apricots deliver dependable fruit quality all year round.
