Cherry tree growing has great value for the region of Calatayud and in some cities, Aniñón among them, it is the main harvest.

At the present, the most important variety in this area is the Monzón or Garrafal Napoleón one, which is intended to the alcohol in chocolates, to sirup or to sulphurous to be later used in jam; but we are starting to extend the varieties of table´s cherries grown by our partners: burlat, sumburt, summy, picota...etc.

The A.S.T. is working with cherries not only intended to alcohol but also to sulphurous through the  process of stabilization, the removal of the stalks, calibrated and stoned of the cherry, adding value to the goods we sell. For this reason we are carrying out high investment in specialised machinery.

We also proceeded with the building and equipment of two cold-stores to respond to the requirements of our German and French customers of the cherry industry of syrup, since it was necessary to preserve the good quality of cherries by pre-refrigerating them before the cargo.
