FERROVIA CHERRY, TURI'S RED GOLD

The Ferrovia cherry is a highly prized variety, originating from Turi and particularly widespread in the province of Bari.

The Ferrovia cherry was selected in the 1930s by local farmers in the Turi area, who were looking for a cherry variety suited to the climate and soil conditions of Apulia.

The name “Ferrovia” comes from the railway line that ran through the production area, which facilitated the transport of these fruits to the markets.

By the 1950s, the Ferrovia cherry had become popular not only locally but also nationally, thanks to its flavour and resilience.
