How do these Amarena cherries change my cocktails and mocktails?

Amarena Fabbri cherries add concentrated fruit flavor, deep color, and a touch of sweetness that complements many spirits and mixers. Their texture and syrup help them sit attractively in a glass without dissolving, while their tart-sweet balance pairs well with whiskey, brandy, rum, and bourbon. Use them whole, halved, or drizzle a little syrup for extra sweetness and gloss.

Can I use these cherries in baking and plated desserts?

Yes — their intense flavor and syrup make them excellent for finishing desserts or incorporating into recipes. They complement gelato, cheesecakes, tarts, panna cotta, and ice cream sundaes, adding both taste and a polished look. Chop or heat them slightly to release syrup for sauces and glazes.

What makes Fabbri Amarena cherries different from maraschino or cocktail cherries?

Amarena cherries are a specific wild cherry variety with a naturally tart profile that is balanced by candying and syrup preservation, unlike bright-red maraschino cherries which are heavily processed and often dyed. Fabbri follows a traditional Italian method that keeps the cherries' characteristic dark color and concentrated flavor. The result is a more authentic, layered taste and an elegant visual compared with standard cocktail cherries.

• Wild Amarena variety, not the typical maraschino cherry
• Candied and preserved in syrup for depth and shine
• Produced in Bologna, Italy using a long-standing recipe
• Non-GMO, gluten free, vegan-friendly, and kosher certified

How should I store and serve the 35.2 oz jar to keep cherries at peak quality?

Store the sealed jar in a cool, dark place until opened; refrigerate after opening and use within a few weeks for best texture. Serve chilled or at room temperature depending on application; reserve some syrup to brush over plated desserts or to stir into drinks. Because the cherries are pitted and ready-to-use, they speed up service in high-volume settings.

• Keep sealed jar in pantry; refrigerate after opening
• Use syrup as glaze, sweetener, or finishing touch
• Ideal big-size jar for parties, bars, and pastry kitchens
• Best used fresh within weeks after opening for texture
