E.E. & Brian Smith are a supplier of Apricot Puree Concentrate. We source majority of our Apricot Puree Concentrate from Greece. Other countries of origin include South Africa, Italy, Turkey, Argentina and Chile.
Apricot Puree Concentrate is manufactured by pressing ripe apricots, blending the fruit and putting the juice through the evaporation process. This means the juice is concentrated and you can ship reduced volumes which helps save costs. It can be re-diluted back to single strength juice at your factory if required.
The product is Aseptic to give a long shelf life (18 months) however the heat treatment is short to ensure the Apricot Puree Concentrate has a fresh taste.
The Brix level is normally 30-32 on the Apricot Puree Concentrate which we source from Greece and is packed Aseptically into drums which are normally 235kg.
