Sweet Dark Cherries

Sweet dark cherries bring a deep burgundy color and a rich, honeyed sweetness that food and beverage manufacturers use to add a touch of indulgence to their products. Their firm flesh and glossy dark skin make them as appealing to look at as they are to taste. Our conventional and organic sweet cherry suppliers process them as IQF pitted — clean and ready to portion straight from frozen.

Because dark cherries are naturally sweet, they need little or no added sugar, which makes them an ideal ingredient for clean-label and 100% natural formulations. Manufacturers feature IQF pitted dark cherries in ice creams, gelatos, yogurts, bakery fillings, chocolate and confectionery, sauces, compotes, and premium fruit bases. They hold their shape and color well, so whole pieces stay appetizing in the finished product.

Dark cherries are naturally rich in anthocyanins — the pigments behind their deep color — along with vitamin C and other antioxidants, which is why they are a popular choice for better-for-you desserts, smoothies, and beverages. When your product calls for the luxury of real dark cherries, give us a call.
