Product of: Product of Italy Italy

Known in Italy as "Marasche al frutto" (literally 'cherries to the fruit'), these are the Marasca cherries used by Luxardo for distilling its renowned Maraschino liqueur, but here preserved in a jar, 50% candied cherries and 50% syrup. No thickening agents or preservatives are used.

The old-fashioned-looking 400 gram (14.1oz) jars have a shelf life of three years. Once opened, keep the jar closed in a cool, dry place. Despite the label advising against it, we store ours in a refrigerator between uses.

Ingredients
"Cherries, Marasca cherry juice, glucose, water, citric acid, natural colour anthocyanin, Marashino flavour."
