About Organic Sour Cherries

Organic sour cherries are Turkish tart cherries grown and processed to certified-organic standards, giving natural-foods and beverage buyers benchmark Afyon-region quality with full EU Organic and USDA/NOP traceability. Turkey's sour cherry heartland includes established organic orchards, and because sour cherries are prized for their antioxidant profile, organic tart cherry is in strong demand in the wellness and clean-label channels.

Organic sour cherry is available across all the main formats — dried (natural or juice-infused), IQF frozen (pitted), and juice concentrate — so brands can build a complete organic tart-cherry range from one origin. This supports organic bakery and cereal, functional 'tart cherry' wellness drinks, dairy, and natural snacking, with an ingredient profile that meets clean-label expectations.

For export, organic lots are kept fully segregated from conventional, with organic certificates issued per shipment and residue analysis on each lot for EU compliance. Processing is under BRC/IFS-audited conditions. FromTurk connects organic buyers with verified Afyon-region exporters to confirm certification scope, choose the format, and sample before ordering.
