The Story
The cherry has a deeply Turkish connection, the word "cherry" in many European languages derives from Cerasus (now Giresun), a city on Turkey's Black Sea coast from which Roman general Lucullus is said to have brought cherry trees to Rome in 74 BCE. Turkey remains one of the world's largest cherry producers, and the fruit has been central to Turkish cuisine and culture for millennia.
Cherry juice and cherry-based drinks are beloved across Turkey and the broader Mediterranean region, tart cherry in particular is prized both for its intense flavour and its health credentials, including high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Vişne (sour cherry) juice is a staple in Turkish homes and restaurants.
At Cappadocia, our cherry sparkling combines the sweet-tart intensity of cherry juice with effervescent sparkling water, a beautifully coloured, refreshing drink that pays homage to Turkey's cherished cherry heritage and provides a sophisticated non-alcoholic alternative for any occasion.
