The world's largest cherry has been
grown in Italy, farmers group Coldiretti said after filing it
with Guinness World Records Tuesday.
The mammoth fruit weighs in at just over 33 grammes, Coldiretti
said.
Of the Carmen variety, the cheery was grown at the Pecetto farm
in the province of Turin, owned by the Rosso family.
The record was broken despite 2021 being a bad year for Italian
fruit with one out of four cherries being lost to bad weather,
Coldiretti said.
"Despite this Italy is the main producer in the European Union
with almost 30,000 hectares cultivated situated fro 62% in
Puglia, followed by Campania, Emilia-Romagna, Veneto e Lazio,"
the farm group said.
