New Amarena Cherries in Syrup, 230g Italian Ingredients|Jam, Honey & Spreads

Fabbri Amarena cherries in syrup are world famous demi-glacé cherries – and with good reason! The Amarena cherries are soft and juicy, with a pleasing sourness that balances the sweet syrup. 

Amarena cherries are small, black sour cherries that grow wild in the Italian cities of Bologna and Modena. They are commonly gently cooked and preserved in sugar syrup, then used as a dessert topping.

Pop a few cherries on top of a dark chocolate mousse or gateaux for a decadent dessert. The sour cherries are also brilliant with ice cream, particularly with pistachio or a really good vanilla. Or pair with a thick vanilla or Greek-style yoghurt for an indulgent breakfast.

This 230g pot is just right for trying out Fabbri’s famous cherries, or for that one special recipe you’ve always wanted to make! A larger 600g jar of Amarena cherries in syrup is available for devoted fans. A huge 1.2kg of Amarena cherries in syrup is also available for catering.

The Amarena is a variety of sour cherry that was developed by Gennaro Fabbri in 1869. His wife, Rachele, slowly cooked the cherries and semi-candied them. Gennaro liked them so much, that he bought a white-and-blue ceramic jar to thank her. Rachele then had the idea to sell the cherry syrup in the decorative jars, and in 1905 the Fabbri company was born.
