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.
