In the Ararat plain, apricot orchards have shaped the landscape for generations. Bathed in sunshine, our trees thrive in fertile soil and a continental climate that favour fruit of exceptional fragrance, juiciness and natural sweetness. For our jam, we select large apricots with generous, pale flesh, picked only at full ripeness to preserve their full aromatic richness.
Our jams are made using a traditional artisanal method. The fruit is cooked in small batches in copper cauldrons, with little sugar and no additives whatsoever. Copper distributes heat evenly, allowing a quick cook that preserves the fruit's vibrant colour, its texture and its full aromatic intensity.
The apricot trees behind this jam grow in the very same village as our saffron field. They are tended year-round by Vladimir, keeper of the orchard, who watches over the trees with the same care as the harvests. Heir to a family history deeply rooted in this land, he carries on a craft passed down from generation to generation. The fruit is then processed locally in a community workshop that employs women affected by conflict, contributing to the vitality of the village of Khor Virap.
A vivid orange colour. A generous texture, rich in fruit pieces. An intensely fruity palate, where the apricot's natural sweetness is balanced by a gentle touch of acidity.
