Cherry (Cereza)

Chile, with its ideal Mediterranean climate, nurtures some of the world’s finest cherries, renowned for their deep red hue, firm texture, and high Brix levels (16–20°). Grown in fertile valleys, Chilean cherries thrive under optimal conditions, benefiting from advanced irrigation techniques and stringent quality control. 

Their harvest season aligns perfectly with global demand, peaking during the Northern Hemisphere’s winter. Chile is the world’s largest cherry exporter, with key markets in China, the U.S., and Europe.
