Fabbri Amarena Cherries Jar 600g

Beautiful dark cherries, semi-candied and preserved in syrup presented in its iconic blue and white opaline glass jar.

These cherries are very versatile and can be used in many recipes but popular ways to enjoy them have been to spoon them on ice cream, use in cocktails, on top of cakes, waffles, tiramisu, tarts and of course served alongside cheese.

Once the contents is finished, the attractive blue and white glass jar can be used to store other things and makes a wonderful ornament for your kitchen.

Its unmistakeable taste and popularity has endured for over 100 years. We have Gennaro Fabbri and his wife, Rachele, to thank for its creation. The Amarena cherry, a variety of Prunus cerasus (a black sour cherry) grows wild in Bologna and Modena. His wife took the opportunity to pick these cherries and cook them in sugar, in copper pots. Gennaro liked the candied cherries so much he bought a blue and white ceramic jar for his wife as a thank you present. They later decided to sell the cherries in syrup in these ceramic jars and the family run company have been doing so ever since.
