Amarena Cherries in Syrup – Opaline Jar, 600g Italian Ingredients|Baking Ingredients

Fabbri Amarena cherries in syrup are world famous demi-glacé cherries in a decorative opaline jar. The Amarena cherries are soft and juicy, with a pleasing sourness that balances the sweet syrup.

Amarena cherries are small black 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.

The opaline jar is white, milky glass with Fabbri’s iconic blue floral design.

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 600g jar is ideal for anyone who can’t get enough of Fabbri’s famous cherries. A smaller jar of Amarena cherries in syrup is available if you just want to try them out. A huge 1.2kg of Amarena cherries in syrup is also available for catering. You can also use this as a gift on Christmas (& it’s vegan-friendly!)

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 had the idea to sell the cherry syrup in the decorative jars, and in 1905 the Fabbri company was born.

To maintain their exceptional quality, keep the jar of cherries in a cool, dry place. Once opened, they should be stored in the refrigerator and chilled before serving.
