What Makes the Seasonal Valais Apricot with Alpine Herbs Blend Different
Most fruit snacks on shelves today are loaded with added sugar and long ingredient lists. We do the opposite.
Our Valais apricot blend is a natural product made with no gluten and no sugar added. We combine dried apricots from the Valais region with a light touch of alpine herbs, giving the snack a herbal, slightly floral finish you will not find in a standard apricot bar.
We also use local apples as a base in most of our recipes, keeping the entire supply chain close to home. There are no chemicals in this or any of our products, just fruit, herbs, and time.
Why Shop the Seasonal Valais Apricot with Alpine Herbs Blend This Year
Apricots from Valais are not available year round. Growers in the region cultivate roughly 70 different varieties across about 700 hectares, producing close to 8,200 tons of fruit annually, but that harvest window is short.
When you shop the seasonal Valais apricot with alpine herbs blend, you are buying into a genuinely limited production run tied to that harvest. Once the season's batch sells out, it is gone until next year.
This is also why we treat it as an award winning snack candidate every season. Limited runs let us focus on quality over volume, which is part of why our recipes keep winning recognition.
No Gluten, No Sugar Added: A Natural Product Built for Everyday Snacking
Every batch we make is a natural product, free from gluten and with no sugar added. That matters whether you are packing lunches, training for a race, or just looking for a healthy snack that does not spike your energy and then crash it an hour later.
We rely on local apples and seasonal fruit like our Valais apricots to bring natural sweetness, so we never need to add sugar. Combined with the fact that we use no chemicals in production, this makes our range a genuinely natural product from start to finish.
Apricots themselves back this up nutritionally. Every 100 grams of raw apricot contains around 1,094 micrograms of beta-carotene and roughly 2 grams of dietary fiber, so the fruit is doing real nutritional work, not just adding flavor.
Award Winning Snack: How Our Innovation Prizes Shaped This Blend
We did not start out trying to make an award winning snack. We started by trying to make good food from good fruit, and the recognition followed.
We won the innovation prize in Switzerland in both 2023 and 2024, and in 2026 we were named the most innovative snack in Europe. That same year, our K'Apples with apple and cinnamon took home Gold, and our Raspberry and Strawberry tastes earned Silver at the European awards.
You can see the details of that recognition on the official 2026 innovation award listing, and the full gold and silver medal results from the same event.
