Picota cherries to hit the shelves

Shoppers are in for a treat this summer as the unique Picota cherries from Western Spain hit UK supermarkets.

The cherries are exclusive to Spain’s Jerte Valley, protected by a denomination of origin (PDO) status, meaning they can’t be grown elsewhere.

The unique, stalkless cherries are set to be available during their short season between mid-June to the end of July.
