Cherry in the Luberon

With the Gard department, the Vaucluse department is the largest producer of table cherries. The "Burlat" and the "Bigarreau" (also known as the Royal Ann cherry) are the most cultivated varieties in the Luberon. You can consume while fresh in summer or enjoy the main speciality of Apt: candied cherry. Apt produces more than 10,000 tons of candied fruits! Many fruits have been preserved there since the 14th century, a true know-how! Today, Apt remains the world capital of candied fruit.
