Apricots from the Costières plateau
Thanks to its geographical location, high-filtering soil and record levels of sunshine, there’s nowhere quite like the Costières plateau near Nîmes for growing sweet, mouthwatering apricots.
« Flavorcot apricots are my favorite. The challenge lies in picking them at their peak, just before they fall from the tree. »

We have found two less common, yet complementary varieties, Flavor cot® and Lido, which hit you with tanginess, followed by floral notes, and leave you with a super fresh taste in your mouth.
Letting nature work its magic
Carlos’ approach draws on the least amount of chemicals possible, using the bare minimum needed to achieve the very best fruit. All the orchards here are supplied with water from the Canal du Bas-Rhône: a key ingredient in ensuring the fruit grows exactly as it should for maximum quality and taste.
