"Skylar Rae is the sweetest cherry that you will ever taste with an exceptional sugar level of 22 - 24 brix," said Hong Chew Kwek, Managing Director at Kwek Global. "The Skylar Rae cherry has a crisp and juicy texture, which offers a candy-like bite that is naturally irresistible."

"As the trees are still young, we have received only three pallets for this first shipment. Size is generally big, 28mm++. Production is still very limited due to young trees, and this is the very first commercial shipment to Singapore. Depending on the logistics, this may be the only shipment as the airspace is closed due to the ongoing conflicts between Iran and Israel."
Currently, Singapore is getting mainly red cherries from the USA at the moment, also some of the bi-colour cherries, Rainier, also from the US.

"We have high expectations for the Italian Skylar Rae cherries as the variety truly differentiates itself from the other cherry varieties available in the market now. The Skylar Rae cherry is carving out a niche market as the eating quality is exceptional due to the high brix and crisp texture. Skylar Rae Cherry is elevating the consumer satisfaction to a higher level."
