About Jerte Picota P.D.O.
The Jerte Picota P.D.O. (Protected Designation of Origin) status certifies that the fruit has been grown, harvested and packed under rigorous quality controlled procedures and has come exclusively from the Jerte Valley in Spain, which lies South-West of Madrid in the Cáceres region.
The Jerte Picota is not only unique from its P.D.O. status but also from its stalkless harvest and its shape, which has a slight peak to the base, hence the word ‘Picota’ means ‘peaked’.
Jerte Picota Cherries are still harvested by hand. The cherry will naturally come away from the stalk when it is ripe, which is why they are sold without a stalk and are only harvested at exactly the right time. They are 100% natural and are only available for six weeks per year, but their sweet taste is worth the wait.

Oh you took me back! I ate Picotas when I lived in Madrid many years ago! We were stationed there with the US Air Force. My son was little and we would eat these precious jewels like crazy. They are the BEST cherries I have ever had in my whole life. Nothing in the US compares.
Yum!
