Luxardo Maraschino Cherries are regarded as the world's finest cocktail cherries, produced by Luxardo, an Italian family company founded in 1821. Unlike artificially colored cocktail cherries, Luxardo uses whole candied Marasca cherries, a prized sour cherry variety traditionally grown by the company.
The cherries are candied over several weeks before being immersed in their own rich Marasca cherry syrup, resulting in exceptional texture, deep color, and concentrated fruit flavor.
