A Symphony of Time and Terroir: The Apricot's Tale

In the cradle of ancient China, a delicate gem was born - the apricot. A fruit that transcended time, cultures, and continents, weaving a narrative of sweetness that echoes through the ages.

From China to Valais: An Epic Journey of Flavor

Originating in China around 2000 B.C., the apricot embarked on a grand odyssey with the traders of the Great Silk Road. Chinese merchants, the botanical conduits of this golden treasure, are believed to have introduced the apricot to the Persians, who affectionately named it the "yellow plum" or "zardaloo."

Botanically known as Prunus armeniaca, a nod to the ancient Greeks' belief in its Armenian origin, the apricot made its debut in Greece and Rome in the 1st century B.C. Dioscorides, a Greek physician, poetically dubbed it "Mailon armeniacon" or the "pomme d'Arménie," while Pliny, in Rome, hinted at a variety named praecocium, celebrating its early bloom.

The apricot, with its delicate charm, became a favorite among royals and aristocrats. 

Valais: The Regal Orchard and the Water's Embrace

The apricot's journey continued reaching the Vallis Poenina (the old name of Valais when it was a Province of Rome). Along the Rhône, from Sierre to Martigny, the apricot reigns supreme – the prince of the Valais orchards. Cultivated with care in Switzerland, these high-quality apricots are plucked fully ripe from July to August.

Yet, southern Valais, with its scant rainfall, posed a challenge. Here, the artistry of irrigation channels, the "Bisse," comes to life. A marvel of engineering, these channels bring life-sustaining water from the snow-laden Valais mountains to the fertile slopes above the Rhône Valley. The Bisse Vieux, dating back to 1658, is a testament to the region's commitment to preserving apricot cultivation.

Nectar of Wellness

The apricot, utilized for millennia in traditional Chinese medicine, has not only delighted palates but also contributed to wellness. Laden with phenolic compounds, including caffeic, ferulic, and p-coumaric acids, along with chlorogenic acids and flavonoids, apricots offer a tapestry of health benefits.

A tale that began in the heart of China, traversed the Silk Road, embraced the warmth of Valais, and whispers of sweetness that transcend time. The apricot's story, intricately woven through history and terroir, invites us to appreciate not just a fruit but a timeless journey!
