Cherry Puree is a fruit ingredient produced from cherries (Prunus avium or Prunus cerasus), offering a distinctive fruit flavour, characteristic red colour and smooth texture. It provides food and beverage manufacturers with a versatile solution for developing cherry-based products with controlled fruit content and consistent sensory characteristics.
At MAK Food Company, we supply fruit ingredients for industrial manufacturing, supporting producers in selecting suitable cherry purée solutions according to their formulation requirements, processing conditions and finished product specifications.
Cherry puree is a versatile ingredient for industrial applications, including fruit juices, smoothies, dairy products, plant-based alternatives, bakery fillings, confectionery, sauces and frozen desserts.
Its flavour profile can range from sweet and aromatic to distinctly tart, depending on the cherry variety used. Sweet cherry purée is suitable for formulations requiring a rounded fruit flavour, while sour cherry varieties can provide greater acidity and a more pronounced taste.
In beverage manufacturing, cherry puree can be incorporated into smoothies, fruit drinks and mixed-fruit formulations. It can also be combined with strawberry, raspberry, apple or other fruit ingredients to create balanced flavour profiles.
For dairy and plant-based applications, cherry puree contributes fruit flavour, colour and texture to yoghurts, desserts and fruit preparations. Bakery and confectionery manufacturers can use it in fillings, toppings and sauces, depending on the required consistency.
Unlike cherry juice concentrate, cherry puree generally retains more of the fruit's pulp, making texture and particle size important considerations.
When selecting cherry puree, manufacturers should evaluate Brix, pH, titratable acidity, viscosity, colour, sensory characteristics and microbiological quality.
MAK Food Company supports manufacturers in identifying cherry ingredients that meet their technical requirements, production processes and desired finished product characteristics.

Cherry puree is a fruit ingredient made by processing cherries into a smooth or finely textured preparation, typically after removing the stones. It retains fruit pulp and provides characteristic cherry flavour, colour and texture for industrial food and beverage applications.
Cherry puree is used in smoothies, fruit drinks, yoghurts, plant-based desserts, bakery fillings, confectionery, sauces and frozen desserts. Its pulp content makes it particularly suitable for formulations requiring fruit flavour and body.
Cherry puree contains fruit pulp and has a thicker consistency, while cherry juice concentrate is produced by removing water from cherry juice. Cherry puree is generally selected for applications requiring texture and fruit body, whereas juice concentrate is useful for adjusting flavour and soluble solids.
Yes. Cherry puree can be incorporated into yoghurts, dairy desserts, plant-based alternatives and fruit preparations. Manufacturers should evaluate acidity, particle size, viscosity and ingredient compatibility to achieve the desired texture and stability.
Key parameters include Brix, pH, titratable acidity, pulp content, particle size, viscosity, colour, microbiological quality and storage conditions. Manufacturers should also assess processing compatibility and stability throughout the intended shelf life.
