Cherry pie is one of my favorites, but - oddly - fresh cherries have pretty much no flavor to me. This is true of Ranier as well as the “regular” cherries. What’s up with that?
I bought some Morello cherries in glass jars from Lidl and from Aldi recently just to try them. The Lidl ones were tasty, but the Aldi ones were not much more flavorful than fresh. Doesn’t make any sense to me.
The "Fresh cherries" are picked way too early, to insure better transport stability, to be of much edible use. If you ate fresh cherries picked and eaten at peak ripeness, you'd find plenty of delicious flavo(u)r.
