Red Tart Cherry Concentrated Fruit Purée is minimally processed to retain better color and flavor. Our fruit purée concentrates are processed similar to single strength purées. Fresh cherry fruit is washed, scrubbed, sorted, blanched and processed through finishers. After the Cherry Purée passes through the finishers, the water is then extracted from the product concentrating it up to four times the Brix level before being packaged aseptically or frozen.
