Harvesting
Cherry picking is done manually from mid-May to the end of June.
This phase greatly influences the quality and length of the product’s shelf life.
When
The optimal time falls during the ripening period of the fruit.
The cherries are removed with the entire stem in order to preserve all their characteristics.
