The sour cherry (kriek) is a fruit often enjoyed fresh but also widely used to make the popular Belgian kriek beer. It’s a small, dark red to almost black fruit known for its sharp, tart flavour, unlike the sweeter cherry.
Keep sour cherries (krieken) cool—they lose moisture and firmness quickly at high temperatures and are prone to drying out.
Handle sour cherries with care—they’re sensitive to bruising and damage. Avoid stacking them to prevent pressure spots and broken stems.
Place sour cherries next to other soft fruits for a beautiful, summery display.
