Dried Cherry

Fruit · Global

Dried cherries hold the essence of late summer trapped in a wrinkled, ruby casing. Benzaldehyde offers a whispered memory of marzipan, while malic acid provides a sharp, bright counterpoint to the deep sugars. These fruits are concentrated gems, yielding a quiet spice reminiscent of cloves against the palate.
