Today, just as sixty years ago, Amarena cherries are sweetened and ready to garnish desserts, cakes and 'semifreddi' (ice-cream cakes) and to embellish ice-cream. They are intensely sweet and flavourful. If you're not familiar, Amarena is a type of cherry with a sour and refreshing taste that grows in Italy. It is a summer fruit that is ripe for picking in July. Amarena cherries are used in cocktails such as a Manhattan. The syrup and cherries are traditionally spooned over almond cakes, puddings such as panna cotta, crepes, and ice cream. Approximately: 200+ pitted cherries. Caliber size: 18 - 20mm
