Fabbri Amarena cherries in syrup are world famous demi-glacé cherries in a a huge 1.25kg tin. The Amarena cherries are soft and juicy, with a pleasing sourness that balances the sweet syrup.

Pop a few cherries on top of a dark chocolate mousse or gateaux for a decadent dessert. The sour cherries are also brilliant with ice cream, particularly with pistachio or a really good vanilla. Or pair with a thick vanilla or Greek-style yoghurt for an indulgent breakfast.

This extra-large 1.25kg tin is ideal for catering purposes. A 600g of Amarena cherries in syrup is available for anyone who always wants to keep Fabbri’s famous cherries on hand. A smaller 230g jar of Amarena cherries in syrup is also available if you just want to try them out.

The Amarena is a variety of sour cherry that was developed by Gennaro Fabbri in 1869. His wife, Rachele, slowly cooked the cherries and semi-candied them. Gennaro liked them so much, that he bought a white-and-blue ceramic jar to thank her. Rachele had the idea to sell the cherry syrup in the decorative jars, and in 1905 the Fabbri company was born.
