What makes the Orondo Ruby so special?

The flavor, the texture...and more! Since 2011, we've worked with WSU-TFREC who have studied the quality attributes of the Orondo Ruby, Bing and Rainier cherry varieties. And, we're excited to share the results!

• MORE FLAVOR: Orondo Ruby has on average 19% higher soluble solids than Rainiers.
• EVEN MORE FLAVOR: Titratable acidity for the Orondo Ruby is 47% to 58% higher than Rainiers and approximately the same as Bings.
• CRISPIER BITE: Orondo Ruby is 9% to 21% firmer than Bings and 12% to 25% firmer than Rainiers.
• LESS VISIBLE MARKINGS: Orondo Ruby has on average 2.2 times higher blush coverage than Rainiers.
• BETTER SHELF LIFE: Orondo Ruby has 59% and 56% fewer cracks and 61% and 79% less severe skin marking than Bings and Rainiers, respectively, after packing and storage.

We love how the Orondo Ruby compares. What do you think? What do you notice when you bite into a fresh Orondo Ruby?
