The cherry is not only the livelihood of the Jerte Valley, it is also the passion of its inhabitants. Therefore, it is very important that when you visit the valley you do not compare the Jerte cherry with any other. You will face a fierce defense of the product of this land.
But is it really that good? It's the same as asking if the best acorn-fed ham comes from Extremadura. There is only one possible answer, of course it does. Obviously there are many varieties (but really many), and you should keep in mind that not always the biggest or most intensely colored fruit is the best tasting cherry. And that is why it is important that you know what a "Picota" is.
