Experience the exceptional sweetness and vibrant flavor of Northwest Cherries, nature's perfect summer gems harvested from the renowned cherry-growing regions of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho.
These beautiful, ruby-red cherries are celebrated for their crisp texture, juicy flesh, and perfect balance of sweetness with just a hint of tartness. Northwest cherries are typically sweet varieties like Bing, Rainier, or Royal Ann, each offering its own unique flavor profile that makes them irresistible for fresh eating. The region's ideal climate conditions, with warm days and cool nights, create cherries with exceptional size, deep color, and concentrated sweetness that cherry lovers crave during the peak summer season from June through August.
Northwest cherries shine in both fresh applications and cooked preparations. Enjoy them straight from the bowl as a healthy snack, toss them into fruit salads, or use them as a colorful topping for yogurt, oatmeal, and desserts. In the kitchen, these versatile fruits are perfect for baking classic American treats like cherry pie, cobbler, and muffins, or incorporating into savory dishes such as cherry-glazed pork tenderloin or mixed green salads with goat cheese. They also make excellent preserves, jams, and sauces that capture their peak-season flavor year-round. For best results, store fresh cherries in the refrigerator and wash just before eating to maintain their crisp texture and extend freshness.
