About this snack
Cherries are a small story in Gilgit-Baltistan. The orchards are modest, the season is short, and most of the fruit is eaten fresh long before anyone thinks about drying it.
What we get is pitted by hand — one at a time, which is why this is the most expensive thing per kilo that we sell — and dried slowly until it is chewy rather than brittle. The flavour concentrates into something close to sour cherry jam, with the sweetness arriving second.
We buy what a handful of families in Skardu and Shigar can spare. That is usually a few hundred kilos, and it does not last the winter.
Ways to enjoy it
- Eat sparingly and slowly — the flavour is concentrated.
- Fold through a chocolate brownie batter or dark chocolate bark.
- Simmer with a splash of water into a sauce for duck or lamb.
- Add to a cheeseboard next to something hard and salty.
Storage & freshness
Airtight, cool, dark. 9 months. Keep away from strong-smelling foods — cherries pick up odours.

A closer look
Good things to know.
01
Pitted one by one
No pitting machine exists at this scale, so every cherry is opened by hand. It is slow, and it is the reason for the price.
02
Genuinely seasonal
One harvest a year, sold until it runs out. We do not top up with imported fruit when we sell through.
03
Dried, not candied
Most 'dried cherries' on shelves are sweetened with sugar or apple juice. These are just cherries.
