Cherry Valley

Cherry Valley Gıda was founded in Turkey in 1994 as a joint venture between Nicola D'Avanzo Srl of Italy and Futem Gıda of Turkey, and works across various areas of fruit processing. Its head office is in Istanbul and its 32,000 m² production facility is in the industrial zone of Ereğli, Konya, employing over 150 workers. Cherries of all kinds are its main product, alongside many other fruits grown in Turkey. The range includes fruits in syrup such as pitted red-coloured cherries, pitted sour cherries and pitted halves of pear, plum, apricot, quince and peach; glacé fruits such as red and green candied cherries, glacé amarena cherries, candied figs, candied orange cubes and slices and glacé mixed fruits; plus fresh fruit, fruits in SO2 and marmalades. Products are aimed mainly at food industries but also at end users. Sales focus mainly on export, chiefly to Western countries, with some domestic sales. The plant uses high-tech machinery with hygiene as the top priority, and the company holds ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 certificates.
