Morello Cherry

Morello cherries are a type of sour cherry, known for their deep red color and tart flavor. They are typically grown in Europe and North America and are often processed for use in food products.

Manufacturers use morello cherries primarily for their intense flavor and color. They are frequently found in baked goods like cookies and pastries, as well as in beverages like teas and flavored waters, adding a distinct fruity taste.

Morello cherries are a natural food ingredient and are generally recognized as safe by the FDA when used in food. They are a source of antioxidants and vitamins. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated cherry products, but specific evaluations for morello cherries as an isolated ingredient are not widely publicized. At typical consumption levels found in food, they are not associated with adverse health effects.
