These luscious and intensely flavorful amarena cherries from the  province of Emilia-Romagna are one of the most sought after all over  Europe. The Fabbri family has been producing these luxurious wild  cherries in syrup since 1905 from the guarded original recipe of founder Gennaro Fabbri. The local wild cherries which are a dark red variety  with a sweet and slightly bitter flavor are preserved in a rich syrup  made from the juice of the same fruit. Try using these special amarena cherries in place of any dish that requires ordinary candied cherries. You will find no end to using them! Use them for toppings, over pancakes, ice cream, dessert, Champagne and even a glass of seltzer.
