Fruit-production dates back several centuries in the Alpes du Sud. For the fruit sector, apples and pears produced in the Alpes de Haute Durance area are of a recognized quality which differentiates them from other regions with « Pommes et Poires des Alpes. »
The quality of the fruits in this region is closely linked to the characteristics of the cultivation soil and 300 days of sunshine per year.
This climate, which has a low hygrometry and a large amount of sunlight gives an exceptional flavour to the Golden delicious apple.
