Åbricot is the word used to designate apricots in Wallonian dialect. It’s a blend of saison (spring barley, Wallonian Winter barley, spelt), 1 year old lambic and apricots. The fruits come from beautiful Les Mées in Southern France, a location renowned for its terroir. This beautoiful piece of land gave birth to some of the juiciest and most flavorful apricots we have had a chance to try.
