Cherries have long been celebrated for their vibrant color, juicy sweetness, and delightful tartness. Whether enjoyed fresh from the tree in the summer or preserved for year-round indulgence, cherries hold a special place in global cuisine. While fresh cherries are seasonal and highly perishable, canned cherries have become a reliable way to extend their enjoyment, allowing consumers and food businesses to access their unique flavor throughout the year.

Cherries are a fruit that depend heavily on consistent climatic conditions. They are particularly vulnerable to spring weather extremes, as frost damage during the delicate blooming and early fruiting stages can wipe out entire orchards. Unfortunately, the 2025 season saw exactly that scenario unfold across multiple producing regions.
