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.

What an apricot should be
Posted by Marla Emery on Dec 8th 2019
I grew up sitting in apricot trees, stuffing the sweetest, ripest ones in my mouth. Everything since then has been a disappointment. Except Apricot King's slab dried apricots. That's what a real apricot tastes like.

The Best Ever

Fabulous product. Incredibley tangy, sweet, flavorful and chewy. Superior taste. Love them. Worth every penny. Super fast shipping. Appreciate that the Apricot King website explains the difference between the types of dried apricots offered - Never knew. We will be ordering again.

Simply Slabs, Simply Fabulous
Posted by Cathy Sawruk on Nov 16th 2019
These apricots made a beautiful and delicious addition to my charcuterie board. For a dried apricot, these are bursting with bright tartness and a silky, chewy texture that paired perfectly with a variety of cheeses.

Stellar!

I placed an order after reading Ruth Reichl's story in Town & Country about Blenheim apricots and ApricotKing. I wanted to truly experience what great apricots taste like and I love the tradition that ApricotKing Orchards represents. I was not disappointed, the slabs were moist and so 'apricotty' I'll be a customer for a long time and look forward to sending ApricotKing gifts to friends

Supreme Dried Apricot
Posted by Philip Davis on Nov 6th 2019
Along with SlipPits, these are the best dried apricots you can buy. The taste is rich, tart, and not too sweet. The texture is chewy but not dry. Compared to SlipPits, Simply Slabs are tarter, chewier, and not as visually attractive. These are for eating out of hand.
