Get ready for the most highly anticipated Cherry season this summer! In about 4 weeks, Jerte Picota Cherries will finally be available in UK stores once again. These cherries are one of the most authentic and high quality fruits around the world due to the environment and careful conditions in which they are grown making them available for only six weeks of the year and therefore highly sought after.
Jerte Picota Cherries are the super food to eat this summer. They have many health benefits, which makes them all the more enticing. These fruity treasures are filled with 8 vitamins, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium. They also have plenty of antioxidants to keep bones strong and skin vibrant. With colours ranging from shades of red to purple, Jerte Picota Cherries have an alluring and organic look with an exquisite taste. They are truly a super fruit which will make your day wherever you are.
They truly are a special cherry which is why they are a PDO protected fruit. The PDO status means that they can only be grown in the area of origin, the Jerte Valley in the Extremadura region west of Madrid, Spain. It is also an EU regulation that guarantees the quality of the product and protects the producers as well as the consumers.
Jerte Picota Cherries are sweet and perfectly ripe. The best thing about these cherries is that they are sold stalkless. The cherry will come away from its stalk when it is naturally ripe and ready. With a short natural season, it is important to look out for those stalkless gems when they hit the supermarkets to make the most of the Jerte Picota Cherries. They have a delicious and juicy crunch, which is very noticeable when eating them. Their flavour makes it hard to resist not putting them on summer shopping lists!
