The Cornel cherry is a less popular treasure of our domestic natural gardens.
The Cornel cherry, also known as Cornel Cherry Tree or Common Dogwood belongs to the Cornaceae family.
They grow on bushes or in small trees. The shrubs can be up to 100 years old. The flowers of Cornel Cherries are golden and the fruits are oblong, olive-like and vary from red to dark red. It has been cultivated in the warmer European countries since centuries.

When ripe, our organic (eco) cornel cherries are harvested, pitted, gently dried in the sun (solar dried) and then disinfested (Disinfestation). The organic Cornel Cherries have a very fruity, sour taste. It is goes without saying that our high quality organic Cornel Cherries do not contain any preservatives or dyestuffs.
