At Dimitra srl, we undertake the production of our cherries with great care, starting from the well-known regions of Pella, Imathia and Florina. This selected process involves the combination of picking and precise storage in cold storage, where pre-cooling is applied through hydro coolers to preserve their freshness.
At the heart of our facilities, a state-of-the-art electronic calibrator takes care of the precise classification of our cherries according to their size and colour, thus ensuring homogeneity during packaging.
At Dimitra srl, our commitment to quality is confirmed through the constant monitoring and control of every stage of the process thanks to our qualified agronomists, identifying the perfect moment of ripening for the cherry picking.

Tips
To choose the best cherries, look for ones that are firm in texture, with a shiny surface and a bright, even colour. Dark red or purple cherries tend to be more flavorful and sweet. For long-term storage, the cherries can be frozen after the pits have been removed.
In terms of their health benefits, cherries are notable for their ability to reduce inflammation and protect against oxidative damage due to free radicals. They are also a source of melatonin, which helps regulate sleep cycles. With their high potassium content, cherries help keep blood pressure under control. Finally, they have the ability to dull muscle pain and speed up recovery after physical exercise.
