We don't ship them fresh because they are extremely perishable; they tend to oxidize and turn brown very quickly. We do ship fresh Balaton cherries, usually toward the end of July or first of August. Balatons are a morello-style cherry. They're firmer and hold up a lot better during shipping than the Monts. We sometimes refer to them as the sweet-tart cherry, because they are a bit sweeter than the Montmorency tart cherry. They are great for baking and cooking, or for a simple snack. We ship both varieties of frozen sour cherries from November through March, when the weather is cooler. We expect our Montmorency tart cherries will be ready within the next week.
