AMARENA FABBRI Wild Cherries In Syrup, 8.1 OZ

expensive, but used sparingly, they impart the best taste!

Intense flavor. Great in cocktail

The ceramic jar arrived beautifully wrapped and clearly handled with great care. The amarena cherries inside are absolutely exquisite—rich, flavorful, and totally worth every penny.

Great taste, firm, real cherries in a beautiful jar!

I've been playing around with all manner of Manhattan concoctions. I fell in love with Luxardo cherries, and have used them exclusively for a while. And then I started noticing people talking about and really liking these Fabbri cherries. They aren't quite as dense as Luxardo, which is neither good nor bad. Just different. I do like the aroma and the taste of the syrup in these cherries better than that of Luxardo. I find that the Luxardo syrup is slightly medicine in flavor -- akin to Robitussin, oddly enough, but it seems this only happens when I use a metal spoon to remove the cherries from the jar. I was given the gift of a dark, wooden spoon with a hole in the middle of the "bowl" by the kind husband of one of the doctors my wife works for. And I've discovered that, using this spoon, there isn't the same medicine flavor from the Luxardo syrup. However, using the metal spoon in these Amarena Fabbri cherries doesn't have that effect. Interesting. These are also slightly smaller than Luxardos, and the container is smaller, and the price is smaller. So you'll have to do some math to figure out what the better bargain is. But we're not here for bargains, we're here for flavor. This is why we try out all of the gourmet cherries and compare them one to another. Either brand is fantastic for pretty much anything you'd like to apply cherries to. I like two of 'em in my Manhattans.
