Cherry trees are native to North Africa where historically all parts of the tree (fruit, bark, and leaves) have been used in traditional medicine and culinary practices.  While the Prunus Cerasus tree produces a fruit that is tart in flavor, it is closely related to Prunus avium, the sweet cherries we all know and love. The fruit is wild harvested and then the kernels are extracted for cold pressing.  Cherry Kernel Oil is a unique and interesting oil, high in Lenoleic Fatty Acids..
