Abgineh Organic Sour Cherry

Average Brix levels range between 14% and 16%, with total titratable acidity (measured as malic acid) ranging from 1.4% to 1.9%, providing a characteristic sharp profile suitable for both gourmet table use and premium juice extraction.

Given high respiration rates, harvested cherries undergo forced-air or hydrocooling within 4 hours to lower core fruit temperatures to 1–2 °C. All subsequent transfers require calibrated reefer transport.

Using breathable micro-perforated liners and maintaining 90%+ relative humidity, transit weight loss is constrained below 1.5%. Physical defects and stemless tolerances are strictly guaranteed below 2%.

Alongside fresh seasonal supply, contract processing into certified organic IQF (whole or pitted) packed in 10 kg bulk industrial poly-lined cartons can be scheduled during harvest periods.

The COA incorporates GC-MS/LC-MS multi-residue screening against more than 400 organophosphate, chlorinated, and synthetic fungicide compounds, alongside heavy metal ICP testing for lead and cadmium.

Packaging utilizes high-density polypropylene vented crates with interlocking corner tabs, engineered to withstand up to 15 vertical tiers on a pallet without deflection or fruit compression.

Minimum volume for refrigerated wholesale distribution is 300 kg (equivalent to 60 units of 5 kg crates), dispatched via temperature-controlled transport for delivery the morning following harvest.
