Folfer, Areko and Kordia are similarly good cherries for appearance, aroma and texture.

sensory study · Research Institute for Fruit Growing Pitești, central Romania; non-irrigated trial established 2013, three replications with three trees per variant. · 2021, 2022

Read the evidence

In a 2021–2022 Pitești trial, 18 trained judges rated seven appearance and eating attributes. Among the 11 foreign cultivars, Folfer, Areko and Kordia had the three highest reported composite means and shared the same Duncan-test letter group. Their totals combine appearance, taste, flavor, texture and stone size; they are not stand-alone overall-liking scores.

Fruit tested
Whole-fruit samples from the 2021–2022 field trial; ten typical fruits per cultivar presented on platters; harvest dates and maturity standards not reported.
