What Is Jumbo & No 1 Yellow Apricot? & The Supply Process
Jumbo & No 1 Yellow Apricot is a premium selection presenting the two large calibres of the Malatya apricot sizing system (Jumbo and No 1) together. A kilogram typically contains between 60 and 100 fruits, placing it among the market's top calibre classes. Fruit reaching this size is carefully picked during harvest from the sun-facing outer branches of the trees, then hand-picked by skilled workers after passing through the sizing machines.
To preserve the fruit's characteristic golden-yellow colour and allow it to travel without spoiling during international shipment, it undergoes traditional, controlled sulphuring (SO2). This process protects the colour and freshness of the fruit, reduces the risk of insect infestation and supports a longer shelf life.
It is particularly favoured by luxury dried-fruit brands, gift-food producers and upscale retail chains in the European, Middle Eastern and Russian markets. Jumbo & No 1 apricot, sourced directly through the Malatya Şire Market and orchard contracts, is prepared for wholesale shipment in 10 kg / 12.5 kg cartons or in custom packaging on request once the calibre has been confirmed.
