Amarena Toschi Italian Black Cherries in Syrup 17.9 Oz.

These Italian black cherries are unlike any cherries I’ve ever had , far superior to maraschino cherries. Very sweet, with a thick, sugary syrup and a dark, rich burgundy color. I first tried them at a restaurant (Forest Gump) and had to order some for home. They’re perfect in cocktail, just add a little syrup to bourbon or whiskey with ice for a tasty treat. The jar did leak a little during shipping, making it tricky to remove at first, but warm water solved the problem. They are a bit pricey, but the flavor is excellent. I won’t be buying maraschino cherries again!

Greatest cherries ever! They're NOT maraschino cherries fyi, they're WILD BLACK CHERRIES (possibly Amaro). They're thicker, bigger and oh so tasty! The sauce they're in is also extremely good! Sweet and sour to the max! Similar to amaretto cherries but not as sweet. I'll eat these forever. Please bury them with me when I go!

I use these to garnish cocktails and for dessert topping. Deep rich flavor.

Love these in my old fashioned.

I bought these cherries for my husband as he is an avid bourbon drinker. He loves to make manhattans and old fashioned's. I bought these as a "treat" for him since he had always purchased your run of the mill maraschino cherries prior. After buying these cherries, I don't think he'll be going back to the grocery store version. Yes, they are pricey but the jar is large, heavy duty and it is FILLED with cherries and cherry syrup. My husband was even impressed with the jar. He said it was so fancy, it looked like it could be an urn!!! The cherries are delicious. The seller also packaged them very well - they were wrapped in bubble wrap and packing tape when I received them. Absolutely no issues and they shipped faster than expected! They definitely have a sweet front and a tart finish. They really up the ante in his drinks. I think we'll be buying these again!

Family favorite

Long-time Luxardo lovers, we tried these on a lark and find that while they are a bit less dense and complex, we prefer the Amarena Toschi cherries for drinks. They have a firmer texture and the slightly less intense taste makes them more compatible with a broader variety of cocktails. For people who really like the deep velvet Luxardo taste, these may not fit the bill. That said, they are recommended as a worthy alternative to the firmer, more watery American style maraschinos (to say nothing of the candy-sweet variety that reminds me of the Shirley Temples I got as a kid).

Very delicious cherrys in syrups for your drinks
