Marco Polo Sour Cherry, 24 Ounce

I grew up with a sour cherry tree in our yard and we used to climb it and sit in the tree to eat cherries every summer. Now I live in South Carolina and they don’t grow down here so whenever I find them retail, I buy them. Though not exactly the same, they did bring back my taste memories of my childhood. They were really good.

I purchased several varieties of pitted sour cherries, including Montmorency and Morello, and found these to be the best in quality. The texture is firm yet tender, aligning perfectly with expectations. The sugar content is balanced, providing just enough sweetness without overpowering the cherry’s natural tartness. I typically use these cherries in fruit salads, where they add a bright, tart flavor that complements other fruits without being too intense. Their vibrant red color also enhances the dish's visual appeal. I highly recommend them for a refreshing summer fruit salad, especially on hot days. Considering their quality and versatility, they offer good value for the price paid.

very good

I recently purchased the Marco Polo Pitted sour cherries, and unfortunately, they did not meet my expectations. I was looking forward to a distinctly sour flavor, but these cherries were surprisingly mild and lacked the tartness I associate with sour cherries.The texture was also disappointing, they were not firm and had a soft, almost mushy consistency. Instead of a satisfying bite, they seemed to break down too quickly and melted in an unpleasant way in my mouth.Overall, the flavor was quite underwhelming, and the texture made the experience even less enjoyable. I would not purchase this product again.

The jar arrived w a little cherry juice on the outside. It didn't affect the productJust ate some today with granola and yogurt. Very good. I will buy again
