Sour Cherry

Sour cherry, also known as tart cherry or by its scientific name Prunus cerasus, originates from Europe and Southwest Asia. Unlike its sweet counterpart, the sour cherry is smaller and bears a more acidic taste, making it favored in culinary uses where its robust flavor can shine through, such as in pies, preserves, and beverages.

The aroma of sour cherry is bright and pronounced. It features a zesty and sharp top note that captures the essence of freshly picked cherries with a tangy twist. This is underpinned by a slightly floral nuance, reminiscent of almond due to the presence of benzaldehyde, which is common in many stone fruits. The overall scent profile is refreshingly sour with hints of sweetness, making it both invigorating and pleasantly pungent. This tart aroma pairs well with other fruit scents and is commonly used in fragrances and food products to provide a vibrant and energetic note.
