[17] Montmorency cherry juice is produced as a dietary supplement, and is manufactured as a concentrate and in capsules as a freeze-dried powder.

[20] Hot extraction involves heating the cherries, pressing them, and then straining and filtering to remove solids.

[4] Hot pressed cherry juice typically has a deeper coloration compared to that produced using cold extraction.

[21] Cold extraction involves first removing the pits from fresh cherries and then pressing them and collecting the juice.

[20] The juice is then heated to kill microorganisms, stop enzyme activity and to solidify particulate matter prior to filtering.

[4] Pure cherry juice has a strong flavor and can have high acidity, so when produced commercially as a beverage product it is sometimes diluted with water to make it more palatable.

[4] Herodotus notes that cherry juice was consumed by the Argippaeans, either fresh or mixed with milk.

[25][9] During this time, juice produced in Magdeburg, Germany from black cherries grown in the area was typically exported to the U.S.[9]
