Albicocca di Galàtone

Albicocca di Galàtone is a very small but particularly sweet and juicy variety of apricots grown mainly around the city of Galàtone, although it can also be found around the cities of Nardò, Seclì, and Sannicola in the province of Lecce.

Due to their tenderness, they are not produced on a large scale, which is why they are very hard to find on the market. Of course, they are available locally, and the best way to enjoy them is to eat them fresh, preferably not long after they have been harvested from the tree.
