The cherry season is a well-known phenomenon in the Netherlands and runs from May through July. During the season, the cherry orchards of Prestige traditionally produce the very tastiest sweet cherries. They are carefully picked at the moment they are perfectly ripe. Prestige cherries taste sweet, have a fleshy pulp and are bordeaux red to purple in colour. The stem of the cherry is long, green and has a kind of small cork at the end, with which it is attached to the tree. This little cork ensures that the cherry stays juicy. That is why growers deliberately leave the stems on when picking. When processed, these cherries are real flavour bombs: preserved, in a classic clafoutis or as a flavour enhancer in desserts and pastries. Fresh cherries are delicate, so store them carefully to prevent bruising and mould. Available per box of 3.5 kilograms. Also discover the yellow cherries in the Prestige range.
