Tasmania Premium Cherry

Due to the fact that Tasmania is an island, it is largely influenced by a temperate maritime climate. This ensures that the fruit has a long gentle growing period which allows the fruit to develop slowly and become full flavored.

Immediately after harvest cherries are hydro-cooled and packed on state-of-the-art specialist cherry grading equipment. Cherries are typically packed into 2kg and 5kg cartons designed to meet export market protocols.

Tasmania cherries are currently exported to over 20 countries across the world including into Asia, Middle East, and Europe.

Cherry growers and packers are typically accredited to a recognized food safety and quality assurance system.
