Cherries

Cherries originated in Europe and Western Asia and have been known to humans for thousands of years. In ancient times, the Greeks and Romans considered cherries a rare and precious fruit, reserved only for the upper class. By the 17th century, cherries were introduced to the Americas, where they quickly adapted and flourished. Today, cherries have become one of the most popular premium imported fruits, with leading exporting countries ensuring a year-round supply to the global market.
