About ApricotKing
Since 1946, the Gonzales family has grown the rare and fabulous California Blenheim apricots. Grown on our Hollister ranch, we continue to be the farmer, pruner, dryer, packer, and seller of the vanishing Blenheim apricot. We produce the best tasting apricots in the world all "Home Grown in the Flavor Zone"!
In addition to our incredible dried apricots, be sure to discover our variety of nuts (walnuts, pistachios, almonds) and other dried fruits (peaches, pears, prunes, and more). For those who believe less is more, we have dark and delicious unsulfured dried apricots. And don't forget our sweet and tart selection of apricot jams and syrups as well as our decadent chocolate covered fruits and nuts. Simply delicious! Everything here on the ranch is organically grown.
Enjoy!
Simply Slabs 2025
"Which apricots are the sweetest?"
The answer to the question:
SLABS...ALWAYS SLABS....
Slabs have the highest sugar content of all the apricots because they're longer on the tree...picked when they're soft and overripe.
Ours are machine cut, paper-thin, and delicate...even though they're the most labor intensive to produce.
These cots are separated from the rest of the pack by their unique color and flat-ness.
Blenheim slabs are the ultimate #1 choice of apricot aficionados everywhere!
Low in sulphur, so eat them, or refrigerate.

THE BEST!
Posted by Jeannine Gallant on Jul 15th 2025
Unbeatable. I grew up with a Blenheim apricot tree in my back yard as a kid. My dad use to dry them every year.
They were amazing and so are these! -

Best ever dried apricots!!
Posted by Sandra on Jun 22nd 2025
I like to think I am a bit of an 'dried apricot' snob. AS early as I can recall dried apricots were a fav, my mother would buy a bag (back in the '40's) as it was a popular addition to many Armenian dishes. As a little child someone acquired a great taste for them and my mother would have to hide the new purchases from me or they would be gone before she could us them in a dish for rice, soup, dolmas and pastries!!! Don't really remember when I first learned about ApricotKing but being an
apricot fiend' had to try and there is no other dried apricot I would even care to buy. These are some of the tastiest and not so 'sulfured to death' morsels of wonder! The slab are favs but then any of the apricots from ApricotKing can't be beat!!! -

Addicted

Can't say enough good things about these apricot slabs. They don't last very long here, I am an age old addict. When my mom would buy those dried up wanna be apricots I would sneak them from the cupboard, she had to hide them after a while when she noticed they were disappearing and that was back in the '40s' and '50's. I have tried lots of apricots dried and fresh and never had any as good as these. I don't order too often....you can guess the reason why. And then Patty usually puts a note on the order to refrigerate them and guess what...can they get any better! They never last that long their either!!! Great quality!!!
