Yes. Big cherries were the first to be cultivated on a large scale in Europe and were favored by Europeans. However, in recent years, domestic cherry imports have mainly come from Chile, the United States, New Zealand and other countries. In particular, Chilean cherries have the largest import volume.

Every winter, the three festive periods of Christmas, New Year’s Day and Spring Festival are the best-selling periods for Chilean cherries in China. Chilean cherries can achieve great success in China.

In addition to subjective reasons such as high planting technology, developed industrial chain, and perfect industrial layout, objectively, Chile is located in the southern hemisphere, and the maturity period of large cherries coincides with the blank period of domestic cherries. In other words, when large Chilean cherries mature, it happens to be a period when no large cherries are ripe in my country. Off-season is a big reason why Chilean cherries are so popular.

Extended information

J is the unit used in Chile to grade cherries. This classification is mainly based on the fruit diameter of cherries. It does not mean that the more J, the more delicious the cherries are. More J only means that the cherries are larger.

The taste of cherries depends on many characteristics, mainly the sweet-sour ratio. The ratio of acidity to sweetness determines whether large cherries are delicious or not. In addition, the hardness of the pulp is also a very important reference standard.
