It's the apricot season!


Rediscover the apricot taste with the Terroirs du Liban Apricot Jam...Try it with croissants, cookies or white cheese!



About Apricots, here and there on the internet...read on:

The Chinese associate the apricot with education and medicine.

The fact that apricot season is very short has given rise to the very common Egyptian Arabic expression "filmishmish" ("in apricot [season]"), generally uttered as a riposte to an unlikely prediction, or as a rash promise to fulfill a request.

Dreaming of apricots, in English folklore, is said to be good luck!

The Turkish idiom "bundan iyisi Şam'da kayısı" (literally, the only thing better than this is an apricot in Damascus) means "it doesn't get any better than this" and used when something is the very best it can be; like a delicious apricot from Damascus.

...I'm falling for this fruit, oh yes.
