What is Sour Cherry Juice, Pulp & Puree?

Sour cherry, also known as tart cherry, is a stone fruit with a sharp, tangy flavor and deep red color. Because fresh sour cherries have a short shelf life, they are widely processed into juice, pulp, and puree. These formats are applied in jams, sauces, beverages, confectionery, dairy products, and bakery, giving industrial buyers consistent access to this high-demand fruit.


Types, Varieties & Forms of Sour Cherry

Juices

  • Sour Cherry NFC Juice: Not-From-Concentrate juice pressed from fresh sour cherries. Available clarified for smooth drinks or cloudy with natural pulp.
  • Sour Cherry Juice Concentrate: A reduced water format ensuring efficient transport and long storage. Commonly applied in syrups, juices, and blended beverages.


Purees

  1. Sour Cherry Puree: Smooth fruit base with tart flavor and rich color, used in jams, sauces, and desserts.
  2. Sour Cherry Puree Concentrate: Condensed puree, reconstituted before industrial use in beverages, bakery, and confectionery.


Pulp

  • Sour Cherry Pulp: Crushed fruit matter, usually frozen, preserving fiber, acidity, and intense red color.


Storage & Formats

  1. Aseptic: Shelf-stable packaging suitable for safe global distribution without refrigeration until opened.
  2. Frozen: Maintains flavor, nutrients, and color but requires cold chain logistics.


Harvest Season of Sour Cherry

Sour cherries are harvested in summer (June to July) in the Northern Hemisphere. Immediate processing ensures stable supply for industrial markets year-round.


Producing Countries

Turkey, Poland, and Russia are the largest global producers of sour cherries. Hungary, Serbia, and the United States (Michigan) also contribute significant volumes to international supply chains.

Sour cherry demand is supported by:

  • Expanding use in juices, jams, and sauces
  • Growth in sour cherry extracts and concentrates for functional beverages
  • Rising demand for organic sour cherry puree in premium segments
  • Increased blending with apple and berry juices in global markets
