IQF Frozen Fruit & Zest

Morello Cherries (Pitted)

Serbia

Maison Ponthier has selected the Oblacinska morello cherry, a traditional variety grown in Serbia, renowned for its intense aroma and distinctive character. This small, tart cherry has juicy flesh, a beautiful deep red colour and a fresh flavour that is both lively and fruity.

Harvested at full ripeness in Serbian orchards, the morello cherries are then carefully pitted and quickly frozen to preserve all their organoleptic qualities: melt-in-the-mouth texture, natural shine and aromatic richness. This raw and authentic fruit stands out for its consistency and versatility.

With no added sugar, colourings or preservatives, these ready-to-use cherries are ideal for a wide range of uses: clafoutis, tarts, desserts, ice cream, jams and sauces. A natural and expressive ingredient, perfect for the most demanding creations of professional chefs.
