Dried Cherries

Our organic sun-dried sour cherries are one of the most challenging dried fruits to produce due to the unique structure of their pits. Since the density of the pit is nearly identical to the fruit’s flesh, machinery alone cannot guarantee a clean result. Instead, a combination of advanced technology and meticulous hand-sorting is used to achieve the highest quality.

The result is a tart, chewy, and naturally flavorful fruit that can be enjoyed straight out of the bag or used as a premium ingredient in baked goods, cereals, and confections.

Production

Fresh, ripe sour cherries are dried naturally under the sun before undergoing four laser scans to identify defects and pit fragments. Because machinery cannot fully separate pits from the fruit, each batch is then hand-sorted slowly at a rate of around 20 kilograms per person per hour. On average, two pit fragments per kilogram are identified and removed, ensuring safety and quality.

Since sour cherries are especially attractive to sow bugs, they undergo an extended fumigation process in a strictly isolated production environment. This ensures product integrity and long shelf life.

We supply organic sun-dried sour cherries globally, available through wholesalers, retailers, and department stores including Costco, Trader Joe’s, and Whole Foods.
