Cherries are a typical product of Conversano and surrounding villages. This excellent product reaches its peak and maximum availability either side of May and June. Best-known varieties are BIGARREAU and FERROVIA.

THE BIGARREAU cherry is known for its early ripening, as it reaches the market during the first ten days of May. Its rounded shape and rich red colour are its main characteristics.

THE FERROVIA meanwhile, is the best-known and most popular variety in Europe. It reaches the market at the end of May and is available until the end of June. It is known for its crisp, succulent flesh and consistent bright red colour, which makes it a popular export variety. Cherries are rich in flavonoids, useful for combatting free radicals. They are highly refreshing and contain large amounts of fibre, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, Vitamins A and C.
