The unique shape of each apricot occurs because of the hand-made process each one undergoes. They start off as halves searching for their perfect partner and when they do find each other, that's when the magic begins. Their texture, shape and taste are born in this moment, which is eventually sealed with a red kiss that gives them their trademark blush.
The Baxton recipe has been the same for decades which is why their original apricots are the ones we all remember so fondly.
