Product Description

EST. 1945: Giancarlo and Lanfranco Toschi founded Toschi at the end of WWII in Vignola, Italy, when they first dipped the famous local cherries in alcohol to preserve them. Amarena cherries have risen to the top of the cocktail cherry rankings all over the world since then.
COCKTAIL CHERRIES: These sour black cherries are a gourmet alternative to artificial maraschino cherries because they have been carefully selected, stoned, and sweetened. To garnish classic cocktails like the old fashioned and the Manhattan, the best bartenders use real Italian cherries like Toschi Amarena. The sweet and sour flavor, as well as the syrupy texture, give your favorite drink an elegant touch.
DESSERT CHERRIES: The cherries, as well as the sweet syrup in which they are packaged, make delectable dessert toppings for ice cream, milkshakes, Belgian waffles, and traditional Italian pastries such as zeppole di San Giuseppe. Cakes and breads can also be made with Toschi Amarena Cherries.
savory recipes: Toschi Amarena Cherries pair well with savory foods due to their sweet and sour flavor profile. On your next cheese board, serve a crostini with brie or goat cheese topped with these Italian cherries, or use Toschi Amarena to dress roast duck and potatoes for dinner.

Questions & Answers

Is it necessary to refrigerate these once they have been opened?

They must be stored in a cool place between 40 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature is 50 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius). The temperature is ten degrees Celsius. Mine is kept cool in the refrigerator.

How long do the cherries last once they've been opened?

I'm guilty of stowing them beneath the kitchen counter in a cupboard. (When I put them in the fridge, they turned sugary.) ) I poured some into a lovely red and white glass jar; When I'm in need of a cherry fix, I reach for this jar. I ended up leaving the rest in the metal can, which was a bad idea. NEXT TIME, I'll fill my pretty jar with half of the cherries and pour the rest into a glass jar with a plastic wrap barrier between the metal lid and the cherries. WHY? Because the juice that remained on the metal can's top rim turned a yucky color and had a metallic odor. It's similar to keeping tomato sauce in its metal can in the fridge. I'm going to keep putting the cherries in the cupboard because I haven't died yet and have been doing so for a year or two. I eat 1- Three cherries at a time will keep them fresh for a long time.

Is the stem still attached to these cherries?

These cherries don't have stems.

Are there any pits in these cherries?

No pits. They do have a thick syrup that makes everything sticky and goes well with ice cream.

Sweet and savory
5/5

Exceptionally good. br>br>I discovered these by inquiring about the cherry in my cocktail with a bartender. She scribbled it down, and I purchased them for the absurdly low price you're probably seeing as well. br>br>I soaked them in brandy and cinnamon after that. br>br>The end result is firm, sweet, chewy, and flavorful. I won't say they cure chronic illnesses, but I challenge you to show me that they don't.

It's delicious, but it's also a liar
5/5

These cherries are fantastic; in fact, I prefer them to Luxardo cherries. The 2 pound can is clearly a better deal than the ones in the jar, despite the jar's attractiveness. So, if you want pretty, pay for the jar; if you just want cherries, pay for cherries in this can, no frills. I, like many others, assumed the can was the same size as a Folgers can or a fruit can from Smart and Final or Costco. I was mistaken; this can isn't even close to the size of a Folgers can or any of the other cans mentioned. With my sunglasses watch, I snapped a picture of it. Keys for determining scale The can is unquestionably 2 pounds; I just expected it to be a larger 2 pounds. In any case, I'm very pleased with them and would buy them again without hesitation. Although the can had a small dent in it, the delicious, rich, syrupy dark cherries inside did not suffer as a result.

I'm not sure if I'll ever eat another cherry! This is something I should've never bought! These cherries are absolutely delectable
5/5

I don't think I'll ever be able to eat another simple maraschino cherry! The delicious sauce they're in is almost as good as the "amarena" cherries themselves! Every single friend who has tried them has raved about how delicious they are. I have to tell people that they can only have ONE, so the rest is mine. Because the sauce appears to drip down the can even with the plastic lid on, I transferred them to a different container; however, this simply means that no one will notice them if they are looking for them in my fridge. heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh.

Delicious and flavorful! These are my favorite cherries, and they can be used in a variety of ways
5/5

Add them to your cheese plate as cocktail garnishes, ice cream or dessert toppings, or as a breakfast waffle or pancake topper. particularly on the triple cream brie - yummmmm, add syrup to sparkling water, to name a few applications. The syrup is extremely sticky, sloppy, and weighty - So I've coined the term "sticky cherries" to describe them. That syrup has a tendency to get all over the place, but it's worth it for the delicious flavor. Once you've tried these, you'll never go back. You'll never return to the fake-tasting cocktail cherries. They also make your desserts look really nice and glossy. br>The jar is a good size, and I like how it comes with its own plastic lid to keep the cherries fresh. I used to buy much smaller jars of amarena Italian cherries for $12 - $15 at a nearby liquor store. As a result, they're also a good deal.

Luxardo is more expensive, but it's still a good product
5/5

These are fantastic and should be purchased by cocktail fans. I initially purchased the Luxardo brand, but due to the small size of the jar, they quickly ran out. So I tried these, and for the same price, you get like ten times as much, and you can't tell the difference between the two. Get them. br>br> You will not be sorry. br>br>Save even more money by buying the double pack! The second can costs about $12.

To my taste, this is definitely second tier, but it's still good
3/5

However, it lacks the flavor of Fabbri and Luxardo. Fabbri were my most recent cherries, and I preferred them. It is possible that your preferences differ. These, on the other hand, work well in cocktails and as a topping for ice cream and other desserts because they're nice and firm. However, I did not enjoy their flavor as much as Fabbri did, but no one has ever been disappointed. They're also a lot less expensive than Fabbri or Luxardo, so that's a plus.

There are more cherries than cherries
5/5

Caveat: I don't like cherries, but my husband does, so I bought these for him for his birthday. br>The flavor of these cherries is so intense that it makes your jaw hurt. They have a strong cherry flavor, similar to cherry cough syrup or cherry jolly ranchers, but without quite achieving it. The flavor is both natural and powerful. My husband adores them and can't believe I don't enjoy them as well; I could eat one or two, but he'd eat the entire can with a spoon if he had the chance.
