Where They Come From

 

All our apricot seeds and apricot seed oil come directly from the high Himalayas.  The apricots are totally pesticide and fertiliser free and because they grow in remote locations, there is no pollution.  The trees grow wild in valleys and villages and are gathered by the local people at the end of the summer.  The summers are short and it is impossible to reach these locations during the winter months because the roads are blocked by snow.  The whole process of harvesting, opening the kernels, cleaning and bagging the seeds, is done by hand.  The apricot seed oil is made locally in the traditional way
