Fresh Cherries from France ( Extra Quality)

Tasting notes of the Curator

French cherries, are known for their deeper hue—richer and more garnet-toned than their brighter counterparts. Their darker skin often signals a more intense, concentrated sweetness. Beneath their taut, glossy exterior lies a flesh that balances juicy ripeness with elegant acidity.

These cherries are a sensory celebration of early summer. Each cherry is hand-harvested, ensuring only the best reach your table. Unlike mass-produced counterparts, these cherries are cultivated with old-world care, offering a texture that is firm yet yielding, and a complexity that reveals itself in every bite. Whether eaten fresh or showcased in a culinary creation, they deliver the quiet luxury of produce grown with intention and pride.

Pairings and Suggestions

French cherries are a versatile delight that can go sweet or savory:

Serve fresh as a vibrant dessert, simply chilled or with a dollop of crème fraîche

Pair with cheeses, especially goat’s cheese, Brie, or aged Comté

Fold into tarts and clafoutis for a classic French finish

Toss in salads with arugula, duck prosciutto, and balsamic glaze

Use in cocktails—muddle into a spritz or infuse in spirits for a cherry-forward twist

Summer’s Little Luxury

French cherries are more than just fruit—they’re a marker of season and memory. In France, their arrival heralds the start of summer markets and countryside picnics. For just a few short weeks each year, they grace tables as symbols of fleeting pleasure and nature’s generosity. Often shared in bowls among friends or eaten straight from the punnet under a tree’s shade, they capture a timeless joy. This is the charm of French cherries: ephemeral, elemental, and always worth waiting for.
