Apricot Kernel
The apricot kernel is a product that addresses two distinct market segments with its sweet and bitter varieties. The sweet variety is an almond substitute preferred by bakery and confectionery producers sensitive to almond prices for cost optimisation. The apricot kernel oil obtained from the bitter variety by cold pressing is valued in skincare and cosmetic formulations for its high oleic-acid content. Both varieties are offered in export quality, sourced from Malatya, with selection and packaging. You can contact Haroğlu International for a wholesale price and a sample request.
