In Serbia, the Oblačinska sour cherry holds a significant place, with its exceptionally tasty dark red fruit making it one of the most popular Serbian products in foreign markets.
The flesh of the Oblačinska sour cherry is red, medium-firm, juicy, slightly sour, aromatic, and of high quality. Its juice is intensely red and rich in soluble dry matter, sugars, acids, and vitamins.
Sour cherries thrive best in moist, nutrient-rich soil as they require more nitrogen and water than sweet cherries. The tree’s bark is reddish-brown and glossy, with peeling horizontal strips. The branches spread upward with smooth twigs.
Sour cherries are highly resistant to low temperatures, ripening in early spring, making them, along with strawberries, the first seasonal fruit. The tree’s white, large blossoms create a magnificent sight that leaves no one indifferent. The fruit has a sour taste and dark red color. Sour cherries have versatile applications, being used for making juices, preserves, jams, and marmalades, as well as liqueurs and brandies.
They are best consumed fresh when their nutritional value is highest, but they are also available in frozen form.
Types of deep-frozen products:
Deep-frozen fruit is produced in accordance with existing quality standards (IFS Food, GlobalGAP - HACCP). The fruit is calibrated, impurities are removed, and it is packed as a final product according to customer standards and requirements.
