Selecting The Best

When choosing a container of Kyle’s Pick® cherries from the grocery store shelf, look for bright green stems on the cherries, and a dark mahogany red skin. This indicates that the cherries are very fresh, and flavorful!

How To Store Cherries

Cherries stay the freshest when kept in the fridge away from strong smells like onions or garlic. Keep them in their bag and wait to wash them until you’re ready to enjoy. Early washing can make them spoil faster!

The premium eating experience of Kyle’s Pick® cherries starts in the orchard, where our field team, quality control experts, and research and development scouts search for the best blocks of fruit. Once a promising orchard is identified, we carefully evaluate the cherries for size, firmness, sweetness (Brix), and appearance. Finally, each batch undergoes a taste test to ensure it meets our exact standards for flavor and quality.

Unique Locales

Kyle’s Pick® cherries are grown in beautiful central Washington, where warm days and cool nights combine with volcanic soils to create the perfect growing conditions for delicious sweet cherries. Many of the cherries for Kyle’s Pick® come straight from Stemilt Hill in Wenatchee, Washington and are grown by Kyle himself!

How We Select The Best

Every day during the Washington cherry season, our R&D and field teams will scout orchard lots as potentials for producing cherries for the Kyle’s Pick® program. Leading up to harvest, quantitative metrics on fruit size, firmness, and sugar content are taken on those lots. Finally, an assessment is made prior to packing where our research and development team taste tests the cherries for flavor and texture, certifying them (or not) for Kyle’s Pick® packages.

Process & Packaging

Only the cherries that pass the taste-test go on to be packed under the Kyle’s Pick® brand! Once they make it to this point, they’re packed on Stemilt’s ultimate cherry packing line where each cherry travels through in-line hydrocooling to maintain peak freshness and flavor.
