Harvest time is determined with respect to the type of apricot, the altitude at which it is grown, due to the getting yellow of it’s color or it’s softening and getting sweet and juicy. The most suitable apricot harvest is made by hand so the fruits are not damaged during harvest and they are harvested when sufficiently ripe.

Apricots are dried by using two different methods called “Day Drying” and “Sulphuring”. Sulphuring is to shorten the time of drying process, to preserve the natural color, to prevent the product from getting infested with bugs and to increase the preservation period of dried apricots. The Day Drying is the method applied to Natural apricots which are very tasteful.

After harvesting and drying operations, the raw material comes into SUNROSE® facilities to be processed with the latest modern food processing technology. The apricots are double washed, calibrated, sorted, hand picked and table processed by the experienced staff of SUNROSE®. Afterwards the products are x-ray scanned, metal detected and packed for the storage.
