When you hear the word “cherry,” your thoughts move quickly to sweet dessert-like flavors.

But when we talk about Montmorency cherries, we are in an entirely different realm of wonderful flavor that offers a balance of flavor acidity and a significant range of possibilities that go far beyond desserts.

Montmorency cherries are considered magic for the craft beer phenomenon that we have seen exploding across the world. These tart cherries dominate the aroma of cherry with hints of wine and cider that teases the palate with a dry, lingering fruit finish. The cherries’ reddish pink color gives beer a warm color and adds a floral note, and depending on how long the cherries have been aging in the beer, you can detect slight aromas of ginger and licorice and mild notes of pepper from the flavor melding of spice and fruit.

Additionally, with the rise in sparkling waters and seltzers, cherry extracts are one of the top consumer flavor preferences and always one of the first offerings from key beverage brands.
Keep your eyes peeled for more and more cherry extracts, flavors and infusions in all food and beverage categories. Cherry is an easy connect for consumers with an aspirational offer of sweet, tart and tempting pleasure.
