History

Cherries through the ages

Beautifully flowering cherry trees have dotted the landscape along the Caspian and Black Seas since 300 BC. Their juicy fruit won over not only the ancient Greeks, but also the Persians and Indians. The Romans also contributed to the widespread spread of the cherry tree, thanks to whom the seedlings reached Britain and other parts of the world. [1,2]

A long-time helper

Since time immemorial they have been sought after not only for their imaginative taste, but also for their beneficial effects, which are used in folk medicine. Whether fresh or gently dried, they all represent an important helper. [1,2,3]

Origin and cultivation

Fully ripe, gently dried

The red-coloured fruits of the Sour Cherry are harvested at the fully ripe stage, when they are fully developed. Immediately after harvesting, the cherries are cleaned, pitted and gently dried.

Free of sulphur dioxide and added sugar

The cherries are not treated with sulphur dioxide in the processing process, resulting in a darker colour and milder taste. They are not sweetened.
