Uses:
Melissa’s Black Velvet Apricots have a deep purple (almost black) skin which is covered with a thin layer of light-colored fuzz. The interior of this fruit is a bright golden color with a super sweet, highly concentrated flavor. The warm late Spring and early Summer weather in California produces an intense flavor in these fruits that is reminiscent of apricot preserves.
This item is perishable and ships 2nd Day. Product pricing includes 2nd Day shipping upgrade (Standard shipping rates still apply).
Selection, Storage & Handling:
Black Velvet Apricots may bruise easily when ripe; handle with care. To ripen, hold at 65 - 70º. They are ripe when they give to gentle pressure. Note: Black Velvet Apricots are sensitive to ethylene producing fruits and vegetables.
