Zarchin Bulk Dried Sour Cherries

Yes, fresh fruit passes through multi-stage agitated flume washers with sand-traps prior to drying. We guarantee that the finished dried product is completely grit-free and ready for direct packaging or food formulation.

Moisture is calibrated between 15% and 18%, preserving a fleshy chew without sogginess. Hot-air convective drying prevents caramelization and excessive exuded sugars, keeping individual berries free-flowing upon handling.

As no artificial colors or high-sulfite additives are applied, maintaining product storage in dark, dry, refrigerated conditions (below 10°C) is recommended to prevent natural anthocyanin oxidation and darkening over time.

This standard SKU features whole unpitted dried sour cherries, preserving the traditional profile and firm fruit structure. Mechanically pitted dried cherries can be arranged under custom bulk contract terms.

Standard MOQ is 50 kg. Stock packaging consists of 5 kg and 10 kg cartons with inner liners. For bulk container orders, custom box capacities can be arranged per buyer specifications.

Yes, the intense natural acidity and high brix-to-acid ratio make this fruit highly sought after by fruit leather manufacturers, sauce and paste producers, and beverage formulators seeking authentic tart flavor.

Prospective commercial buyers may request representative evaluation samples (1–2 kg). Following customer verification, the specific tested production lot is sealed and reserved for contractual delivery.
