Red Tart Cherries, water pack, Are these cherries from Oregon, some reviews state they are from Poland. Thanks

Haven't checked the most recent batch of cherries I got from Amazon, but OregonFruit's website says their fruit all comes from Oregon. I see a few replies down that people are noting the label says some cherries come from outside the U.S. due to a poor harvest in Oregon this year. I get a shipment of eight cans of cherries every two months from Amazon, either me or my friends have been cooking with them all year, and everything we've made has turned out great.

Poland is correct, it is right on the can in plain English. Nothing hidden here , plus they are very good. Also the dark red are the same and they make great pies. Ray

I bought the ones from Poland and they are nothing like the ones I used to buy from Oregon Products. The tart red cherry crop has been poor for several years and they are substituting these that are a sweeter and darker cherry. I found tart red cherries cherries with the name brand Mother's Maid

If you read the label on the can there is an explanation. Last spring the U.S. crop was all but destroyed due to the weather. In an effort to keep up with the demand the producers were able to procure a high quality replacement from Poland.

On the label, it states that THIS YEAR due to poor weather and small crop of cherries the cherries are from Poland. Hard to believe this would be economical for them. The cherries are very good, however, and make excellent pie. The company is in Salem, Oregon.

Last spring Mother Nature whipped up some crazy weather in the mid-west that destroyed their tart cherry crop; supplies were scarce so they searched for the second best growing region in the world -- the orchards of Poland. Similar in flavor to US red tart cherries, these cherries have a deep red color like a fine Cabernet.

They may come from anywhere. The information that we got was that if they run out in Oregon, and they still have orders for more, they shop elsewhere for the best product.

Poland , as I meant to say it is on the can , not Poland but Salem Oregon. Ray

The cans say very clearly "product of USA." There is nothing else that would be relevant. I use this kind of cherry for cherry pie and cake fillings. Infinitely better tasting than canned pie filling, which is too gluey and sweet, and easier/less messy than fresh cherries. Recommend. Local supermarket does not carry it so I was glad to order a case from Amazon. Being canned, they last for a very long time.

I don't have an answer, but was happy to hear that you called to find out because I am looking for only Montmorency tart cherries. I am taking this for my RA so I want to get the absolute right stuff but at a good price that's not too outrageous. Thank you for calling and checking. Much appreciated.

My reasoning exactly. Since "we are what we eat", we owe it to ourselves to know as much as we can about what we ingest. The more organic, the better ! As to how I keep my cherries: upon arrival, I get rid of the plastic bags they are packaged in originally, and transfer them in 2L glass canning jars (with a rubber gasket on the attached lid). I think glass is better than plastic to maintain a neutral taste, especially over longer periods of time and at room temperature. Our jars of cherries sit out on the counter, not in the frig. Thanks for sharing !

I would try the German website of Amazon, since contrary to what Jimmy Singer appears to believe about the geography of Poland, not every little bit of it is within easy driving distance of Germany. But that is only evident to people with a shred of common sense and the ability to read a map. The German site has a far larger assortment, and it may be easier and cheaper to order from them.

One of the original flavors was fire (cinnamon) but it is not included in this "mix". This pack includes Blue Raspberry, Grape, Watermelon, Green Apple, and Cherry. I don't remember raspberry being an original flavor when I was growing up.

I'd say from the far east, most likely farm raised. As I advised others before they are good in soup or a stir fry but do not have the full robust flavor like a forest grown natural Shitake Mushroom.

I have purchased these Montmorency cherries, they are good quality but I'm not sure if other varieties are in the bag. Drop a note to the supplier.

The Cherries used here are from Central Utah at a place call Sanaquin. I know for myself that Tart Cherry juice really helps with Gout and Inflammation.

The package states, "Made in China". I have wondered about that, too, as food from China has been under suspicion for a long time. I hesitate buying anymore of these chestnuts because of the uncertainty.

I have no idea. I used to find them in the stores at Christmas only. Then where my husband worked at one time they sold them in the company store. I just find them so delicious and unique in the way that it splits apart when you bang it on the counter before unwrapping. I used to get them in a raspberry flavor, too, but haven't found them lately. Don't hesitate to try them because they really are GREAT!

I have not had that experience with Oregon Red Tart Cherries. However, the last cans I purchased were a darker red than any I'd had before so I haven't had to add red food coloring to give them pizzazz.

cherry sweet tart, and slightly gritty or chunky to me, I did not mind taking them but they have a texture too, they don't crush up as fine as others I have tried when chewing

I have not seen any shriveled cherries, yet. I still have a few cans left. I have been very happy with the taste and color of the ones I was sent.

They appear to come from Mexico. I have ordered two 5lb shipments and they have been excellent. Not one spoiled lime. Local stores in SE PA don't get them as frequently, so I have resorted to Amazon.

They're not a product of Morrocco...you must be thinking of KO Boneless, Skinless Sardines. Completely different, these are sprats from the Baltic Sea, packed in Poland.
