The Cherry
That Makes Your Product.
Pacific Coast Producers delivers premium ingredient-grade cherries – maraschino, cocktail, and specialty Willamette Valley varieties – in the industrial formats, consistent quality, and reliable quantities that food manufacturers depend on.
From Oregon orchards to your production line, we’re the partner behind some of America’s most-loved cherry-finished products.
From Orchard to Ingredient
Understanding how we process our cherries is part of understanding why our quality is consistent. Here’s how a PCP ingredient cherry goes from Oregon orchard to your production line.
HARVEST
Cherries are hand-selected at peak ripeness from our partner orchards in Oregon’s Willamette Valley – one of the world’s premier cherry-growing regions. Harvest timing is tightly managed to ensure optimal sugar content, color, and texture.
SORT & GRADE
Every cherry is sorted for size, color uniformity, and defect-free quality. Only the cherries that meet our strict incoming specifications advance to production. Substandard fruit is removed before processing begins.
PIT & STEM
Cherries are pitted and de-stemmed to precise specifications for your application. Consistent sizing at this stage is what delivers consistent finished product in yours.
BRINE & PROCESS
Cherries are processed to the specific formulation required – maraschino, cocktail, or a custom specification. Pack media, Brix levels, color, and pH are all managed to your requirements.
QUALITY TESTING
Every batch is tested for color, Brix, pH, texture, and microbiological safety before it clears our facility. Full certificate of analysis is available with every order.
PACK & SHIP
Products are packed in your specified format – gallon poly jars, bulk containers, or custom packaging – and shipped to your facility on a schedule that keeps your line running.
How We Partner With Manufacturers
We understand that ingredient sourcing decisions aren’t made lightly. Here’s what working with PCP looks like from first conversation to ongoing supply.
- Custom Formulations – Work directly with our production team to develop a cherry ingredient specification built around your exact needs – Brix range, color standard, pack medium, sizing tolerance, and more.
- Quality Documentation – Every shipment comes with a full certificate of analysis, Kosher certification documentation where applicable, and any organic or Non-GMO verification your procurement team requires.
- Flexible Packaging Formats – From gallon poly jars to bulk pails and drums – we pack in the format your production line is built around. Custom packaging specifications can be discussed with our industrial team.
- Reliable Supply Chain – Our Oregon processing facilities operate on consistent seasonal production schedules, backed by PCP’s cooperative grower network. We’re a stable, long-term ingredient source – not a spot market supplier.
