luxardo Maraschino Cherries jar 418 mL — Whole Marasca Cherries in Cherry Syrup, Dark & Authentic

Hailing from Italy, these Luxardo cherries offer a deeply flavored, dark-red alternative to the bright neon maraschinos commonly seen. Each 418 mL (400 g / 14.1 oz) jar contains about 65 whole cherries preserved in a syrup made from cherry juice and sugar, delivering genuine marasca taste and a syrupy texture that lifts drinks, pastries, and more.

How do Luxardo cherries change a cocktail?

Using Luxardo cherries adds concentrated cherry flavor, natural acidity and a chewy texture that brightens classic and contemporary mixed drinks. Their syrup also contributes sweetness and color for a finished cocktail with depth and authenticity.

• Garnish for Manhattans, Old Fashioneds and Negronis
• Syrup can be spooned into cocktail mixers for extra cherry depth
• Stable whole fruit that stays intact in stirred or shaken drinks

What makes these different from typical maraschino cherries?

Luxardo cherries are made from sour marasca cherries, not the bleached-and-dyed variety. They are candied and preserved in cherry juice syrup rather than artificially colored brine, producing a darker color and a more complex, authentic fruit flavor.

• Real marasca fruit base, not artificially colored
• Dark, intense color and true cherry aromatics
• Candied texture with natural syrup infusion

How should I store and use the jar after opening?

Keep the jar refrigerated after opening and use within a sensible timeframe for best texture and flavor. The preserved cherries and their thick syrup are ready to use straight from the jar for immediate garnishing, baking, or spooning into recipes.

• Refrigerate after opening
• Use syrup as a sweetener or drizzle
• Portion with a spoon or cocktail pick for consistent presentation

Are these suitable for special diets or concerns?

These cherries are Kosher certified, offering reassurance for shoppers following Kosher dietary practices. Aside from being a preserved fruit product in sugar syrup, check ingredient details if you have specific allergies or dietary restrictions.

• Kosher certified for compliance with Kosher diets
• Preserved in cherry juice and sugar syrup, not artificial brine
• Contains whole fruit pieces, check label for other allergen info

Who is this for: Bartenders, home mixologists and pastry makers who want an authentic marasca cherry for cocktails, cakes and plated desserts will appreciate Luxardo’s depth of flavor and jarred convenience. If you prefer genuine fruit taste over synthetic sweetness and want a reliable garnish that also gives usable syrup, this jar is designed for your bar or kitchen.
