Premium pitted sour cherry jam by Bartar in a 280g glass jar featuring intact fruit, deep ruby color, and balanced tart sweetness.
FAQ
Yes, the facility uses high-precision industrial rotary pitting equipment that punches out cherry stones sequentially after washing. The processed fruit then undergoes dual optical inspection and illuminated sorting belts to ensure zero residual pit fragments in commercial batches.
Filling lines utilize continuous paddle agitators and volumetric piston fillers that meter solid cherries and liquid syrup concurrently. This guarantees that every 280g jar contains at least 40% net weight of plump, undamaged cherries suspended in crystal-clear ruby syrup.
The vivid ruby coloration is 100% natural, derived exclusively from the native anthocyanins present in fresh cherry skins. Because boiling takes place at low temperatures inside sealed vacuum vessels, the natural pigments do not thermally scorch, requiring zero added carmine or synthetic dye.
The corrugated bottom trays are fabricated from high-ECT water-resistant kraft paper, fully sealed on all sides by virgin polyethylene shrink film. For ocean container stuffing, industrial silica desiccant bags are distributed along pallets to eliminate container rain and humidity-induced box sagging.
After capping, jars pass through a continuous pasteurization and cooling tunnel where precise thermal lethality values are reached before gradual cooling. This thermal kill-step eliminates all vegetative osmophilic yeasts, while high soluble solids (Brix) ensure permanent microbiological stability.
While this specific SKU pertains to the 280g retail glass format, the manufacturing facility separately supplies commercial bakeries and confectioners with bake-stable sour cherry fillings packed in 10 kg and 12 kg food-grade industrial pails upon contract request.
The domestic threshold begins at 50 shrink trays (600 jars). For full container export orders (FCL), standard Incoterms include EXW or FOB Iranian ports, settled via wire transfer (advance deposit with balance against certified shipping documents). Third-party SGS quality inspection is fully welcomed.
