Place of origin

Cherries are a delicate seasonal fruit. We try to bring you the best cherries from Extremadura, where the Valle del Jerte is located, famous worldwide for the quality and properties of its cherries. However, sometimes weather conditions make the quality, flavor, and optimal ripeness of these cherries not suitable, so we choose cherries from other places in Spain. At ComeFruta, we are your trusted fruit vendor and we handle your order as if it were for ourselves, prioritizing quality above all.

How to store cherries?

Do not wash or cover them. Place them in a plastic bag with airtight seal in the least cold part of the refrigerator and separate from the rest of fruits and vegetables. If you do this, they can last up to two weeks (depending on the initial ripeness, of course).
