OliveNation Jumbo California Blenheim whole dried apricots 1/2 lb

These California variety of apricots are soft, chewy, with the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, and are moist and SO delicious. No tiny bits of leaves or pits and not too dried out, or bland, or too sweet, as with other apricots.For those who enjoy only SWEET apricots, without any tartness, you need to buy the Turkish variety, not California. California's are both sweet AND sour!But for those who enjoy this type, believe me... they don't get ANY better than this!! Worth every penny! :)

True Blenheim apricots are getting hard to find. These sell for $2.30/oz. More expensive by far than other dried apricots. These are dried apricot halves, softly chewey, the supurb rich, floral Blenheim flavor is just what I wanted. Some of my friends don't see what the fuss is about, and I serve them regular California apricots. Others, however, indulge with me. A bit of plain shortbread is a fine accompiment.

Yes, I know they are un-Godly expensive. But I only buy once a year. I like the flavor and chew.

I love dried fruit, especially apricots and after reading the reviews on these, I decided to give them a try. They are horrible. They were not bright orange as pictured, they were not moist and tasty. They were almost black, so tough that I only tried to eat three just to give them a fair shake and they smelled soured!! I received them in September 2014 and the expiration date on them was January 2015, which is where I think the problem lies. I believe that they were old and this sample may not accurately represent this product. However, I will not order this product again. It was truly nasty. I baited my squirrel trap with them and the squirrels ignored them. Squirrels normally go for fruit in a big way. Amazon was great, as usual, and refunded my full purchase price of $35.00. I wish you better luck than I had. (By the way, the Indus brand of organic dried fruit is very good.)

Can’t afford them. ☹️

Exceptional product: These Apricots are a stand out. I can’t eat any other type. I cook with them and eat them out of hand for a healthy snack. They are flavorful and the perfect consistency. Most brands use inferior fruit that is leathery and tasteless.

These are pretty delicious, very tangy, and would probably be good for folks who want to make apricot preserves with dried apricots. I prefer the tangy dried apricots, so they suit me well. And they aren't too dry. However, they are pricey. I went through an entire bag in about two or three weeks! They're very easy to eat. I'm on the fence about whether or not I can afford it... I guess it's better than fatty candy, but there's still plenty of sugar in them. But if you can afford them, they rock!

California apricots are our absolute favorite!
