Achat

Fruity and harmonious in taste, and versatile in processing: Achat is a new sour cherry, that will quickly find its friends with its sugar- and sourishness content above average. Because of the barely tastable sourishness it is the perfect cherry for fresh consumption – be it for direct marketing or for snacking in the own garden.
