Our Factory

Where the sun does the slow work.

Every summer, the orchards of Malatya turn orange. Ripe apricots are laid out on the ground and left to dry in the open air, just as they have been for generations, before they are sorted and packed for the world.

From Orchard to Pack

Three steps, no shortcuts.

  1. 01

    Harvest

    The fruit is left on the tree until it is fully ripe and full of natural sugar. Harvest takes place in the heart of summer.

  2. 02

    Sun-drying

    The apricots are spread out across the orchards and dried slowly in the open air. The warm days and cool nights of the Malatya plateau do the rest.

  3. 03

    Sorting & packing

    Once dried, the fruit is sorted and packed, from bulk packaging for industry to the SAREKS pouches you see on the shelf.
