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.

Family owed business
Posted by Dennis Walters on Dec 28th 2020
This review is for all products. I Love to support a family owned business provided the products are great. Your products are Always fresh and better than any other comparable products. I have always received top quality products that are hard to find. The handwritten notes are the icing on the apricot cake. A touch like this is greatly appreciated, because it comes from the heart. I will continue to support you and enjoy the healthy, great tasting products you provide. Why aren't more things in California as good as you and your products!

Hide Your Slabs
Posted by Unknown on Dec 22nd 2020
I keep my Slabs hidden in my purse in case of a bad Cot attack. They are everything I remember about Slabs-sweet, soft, just the Best of the Best! Apricot King, please take care of the Blenheim trees, as I can’t imagine life without them.

Awesome Cots
Posted by Annie on Dec 21st 2020
We really love these cots! The hardest part is not eating them all so fast. I would give them to anyone as a gift.

Long Live the King
Posted by Luanne on Dec 16th 2020
Apricots have been part of my life since I was a kid. My mom’s sisters in NM each had a tree or two & the fruit was yummy. I’ve found no dried apricot even approaching AK’s slabs. They. Are. Different. And exponentially better than the bland Mediterranean species. Great with farmer’s cheese.

Blenheim Cot Life-Long Lover
Posted by Unknown on Dec 15th 2020
I grew up in Watsonville just over the Coastal Range from Hollister and had the great fortune to work in a "cot" shed slicing the cots and placing them on the drying tray when I was 9 & 10. That was my intro to Blenheim apricots and the beginning of a life-long love affair w/ dried Blenheims. I may have eaten more than I cut. The ranch on which I worked is long gone, so you can imagine my delight in discovering the Apricot King. My first 2 purchases were on trips to the ranch where I came back with 10 lbs. each time. They freeze beautifully. I no longer have to make the 1 1/2 hour drive to the ranch because they serve the Moraga Farmers' Market, so I've traded that for a 1 hour bike ride. In addition to keeping a supply in my freezer I've also started sending them as gifts which is a seamless process with shipping costs less than doing it myself. I also love the responses I receive from recipients who are getting their first taste of a perfectly dried California Blenheim cot. Rapturous!!

Fragrant, perfect Apricots
Posted by Leslie on Dec 14th 2020
These slab apricots are soft but intense, the essence of apricot, of summer. A great value for quality you can't find at the grocery. Your friends will appreciate them.

Amazing apricots
Posted by Cathy Stipe on Dec 9th 2020
Apricot King produces the best dried apricots that I’ve ever eaten. The natural apricot flavor and soft texture is absolutely the best. They aren’t comparable to any other dried apricots on the market.
