Some call it the “pretty girl” for its brilliant color, sweetness and the delicateness with which it remains on its pedicel; others call it “the super fruit” for its multiple health giving properties.

Our cherries are harvested from the best orchards between the Metropolitan Region and Chile’s VIII Region.
We have the most modern cherry processing plant in the southern hemisphere, equipped with Cherry Vision 3.0 that allows the caliber, color, internal defects, external defects, ripeness and degrees brix to be detected.
