Whole pitted wild amarena cherries semi-candied and preserved in their own dark, glossy syrup to a family recipe over a century old — Italy's classic dessert and cocktail cherry, in the iconic blue-and-white livery.
Intense sweet-sour cherry, soft and tender flesh in a thick, slightly bitter-almond-scented syrup.
Spoon over vanilla gelato, panna cotta, cheesecake, ricotta or yoghurt; fold into cassata; garnish a Manhattan or amarena spritz; pair with dark chocolate and aged cheeses.

Fabbri
The Amarena Fabbri story begins in 1905, when Gennaro Fabbri and his wife Rachele ran a general store in Portomaggiore beside a wild black-cherry orchard. Rachele slow-cooked and semi-candied the cherries in copper pots, creating a treat that became famous as Amarena Fabbri; to thank her, Gennaro commissioned a blue-and-white ceramic jar from Faenza artist Riccardo Gatti — a decorative motif that has identified the brand ever since. Production moved to Bologna in the 1920s, and the cherries are still made there today to a closely guarded family recipe, semi-glacé and preserved in their dark syrup.
