Why Natural Flavours Are a Smart Move as Cherry Prices Climb

Cherry prices are on the rise across Europe and beyond. Thanks to frost, poor harvests and supply chain hiccups. And when real fruit gets pricey (or hard to get hold of), leaning too heavily on cherries and cherry purees can be risky.

Even though UK crops held up well this year, the global shortage is still pushing prices up, making things tricky for food and drink brands.

And just to make things even more complicated…cherry is booming right now.

Cherry is one of the trendiest flavours of 2025. Popping up in everything from bold new sodas and tangy sours to retro desserts and creamy yoghurts. Consumers love it, retailers want it, and brands are going big on it.

So, how do you keep up with demand without breaking the bank?

That’s where natural cherry flavours come in. All the taste, minus the cost or supply headaches.

Here’s how they can help:

  • Big, bold taste – they deliver on flavour, so your products hit the mark every time.
  • Reliable – no batch-to-batch flavour drift.
  • Stable supply – no sudden shortages or shipping delays.
  • More cost-effective – no exposure to volatile fruit markets.
  • Super versatile – great across drinks, dairy, bakery and desserts.
