Freeze Fresh Freeze-Dried Sour Cherry 20 g
Sour cherry is a fruit defined by its acidity even when fresh. In freeze-drying the water leaves and the acid stays; what remains is sharper than the fresh fruit. It is a profile with both admirers and detractors when eaten alone.
Its real strength appears in pairing. Rich, sweet and fatty components — dark chocolate, white chocolate, buttercream, ice cream — are balanced by the cherry's acidity. In chocolate production pieces of dried sour cherry are folded into bars; carrying no moisture, they do not disturb the crystal structure of the chocolate, which fresh fruit cannot manage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it more tart than fresh sour cherry?
Yes. Drying removes water but not acid; the same acid gathered into a smaller mass reads sharper.
Why can fresh fruit not go into chocolate?
The water in fresh fruit disturbs the crystal structure of chocolate and it fails to set. Dried fruit carries no moisture, so the problem does not arise.
Are there stones?
The product is prepared stoneless; the pit is removed before drying.
