These luscious and intensely flavorful amarena cherries from the
province of Emilia-Romagna are one of the most sought after all
over Europe. The Fabbri family has been producing these luxurious
wild cherries in syrup since 1905 from the guarded original
recipe of founder Gennaro Fabbri. The local wad cherries which
are a dark red variety with a sweet and slightly bitter flavor
are preserved in a rich syrup made from the juice of the same
fruit. Try using these special amarena cherries in place of any
dish that requires ordinary candied cherries. You will find no
end to using them. Use them for toppings, over pancakes, ice
cream, dessert, champagne and even a glass of seltzer.
