Fabbri Amarena Cherries In Syrup, 8.1 Ounce

I was a long-time fan of Luxardo cherries but read an article that introduced me to other brands. I decided to give these a try. They are really delicious. They have just a hint of tartness when you bite into them, which I enjoy very much. (I use then to make craft cocktails.) The syrup doesn't have quite as deep a flavor as Luxardo syrup perhaps—more akin to the syrup you'd find in a jar supermarket maraschinos. But all in all, this is a really nice product. The jar is super-cute, too. These cherries would make a nice addition to a homemade gourmet gift basket.

This is what I grew up with and frankly there is absolutely no comparison between these and the US concept of "maraschino" cherries. The flavor is extremely intense and true cherry-like rather than candy-like with an ever so slight tang to it. Although created as an ice-cream topping and as such scrumptious, the syrup can be used to make an outstanding panna cotta and perfectly compliments any other sort of vanilla flavored or cream-based dessert. The cherries in themselves are great for danishes or other sorts of fruit topped desserts.They are expensive in the US (and as such I would not use them for cherry pie) but worth every penny. By the way, contrary to popular belief, they do not need refrigeration as long as they are kept between 60 and 85 degrees F.

These are wonderful. I bought them to top a cheesecake, then used them instead of jelly with cream cheese on a bagel. And they are really really good on top of chocolate ice cream. The flavor is very intense, both cherries and syrup, so fortunately they go a long way. A great way to impress guests without effort.

Per the suggestion of Susan Branch's newsletter, I ordered some of these to put into stockings at Christmas. They were a HUGE hit. They taste SO amazing and decadent, and at this price-point, they are a perfect little splurge without breaking the bank. HIGHLY recommend for on ice cream, desserts, in yogurt, plop a couple on the top of a smoothie...yummmo!

These cherries are small, about the size of a large blueberry, but noticeably smaller than the cherries we are used to here in the USA. They are pitted, but have no hollow area within -- it seems they may have gone thru a chemical process to shrink to a more solid consistency (rather than being floppy and hollow as are canned cherries are). The texture upon chewing them is somewhat waxy, but the syrup in which they are canned (jarred) is very sweet, strong (almond) flavored, and alcoholic. The first time I tasted a few cherries on a spoon with the syrup I choked because of the strong alcohol taste. I do not mean to imply that they are not good -- only that they are VERY bold in flavor, and the syrup is very sweet although interestingly the nutrition label indicates only 12 gms of sugar (less sugar than Jello). I saw Lydia make a cherry tart using them (also with cherry preserves and dried cherries) on her cooking show, so was eager to try them. If you love a very bold and powerful intoxicating cherry flavor you will love these. If not, you may want to proceed with caution. I could very much see this syrup being used in drinks, and this product as a topping for ice cream. I purchased the small 8oz container, they are not inexpensive.

These are the most decadent cherries in the world! They are almost black in color, and simply explode with flavor. Not a kiddies cherry, for sure, because these are NOT maraschino, and they are rather costly. Rather, they are best served topping off a very decadent dessert, or muddled into a very sophisticated Manhattan Cocktail. Elevate whatever you're about to serve...by adding a Fabbri Cherry.

My new culinary addiction...these are so flavorful and fresh! The syrup is addictive, too. It is sweet and tart at the same time. I add a couple of cherries and a spoonful of syrup to a tall glass of plain or cherry seltzer water -- on ice. Give it a stir. It is like an Italian soda! You can find these cheaper in some stores, but if you can't...here's the place to get ' em. Ciao! Mangia!

Very flavorful - each cherry packs a huge cherry flavor punch. Tastes like luxurious candy - like a realistic Ludens Cherry throat drop. The bottle is pretty small, and there can't be any more than 15-20 cherries in there (with syrup) making this a pretty expensive buy. I love it though - bought a few extra bottles for family and friends. They use on Ice Cream - I use in drinks.

Beautiful, delicious cherries .... a far cry from many cocktail cherries.

Do not hesitate to buy these cherries. I can guarantee that you will never have tasted anything like it. So yum.

These cherries come in at like a 1.25 a pop, but life isn't worth living without them in my bourbon manhattans. Use them in lieu of cigarettes, cannabis, and loose women.

Delicious cherries! Wish they were not so expensive.

Perfect in an old fashioned.
