Bergeron
Apricot
Discovered in the Rhône Valley of France in the 1920s, Bergeron is a benchmark late-season apricot boasting a golden-orange skin bathed in crimson. Its meaty, dense flesh holds together wonderfully while releasing an abundance of juice, striking a perfect harmony between rich sweetness and traditional skin tartness.
