Toschi Amarena Black Cherries in Syrup – Italian Cocktail & Dessert Cherries

Premium Italian Cherries, Crafted Since 1945

Toschi Amarena Black Cherries in Syrup bring a storied Italian tradition to your kitchen or bar. The cherries are carefully selected, pitted, and bathed in a glossy syrup, delivering a deep ruby fruit with a balanced sweet-tart profile. The result is a versatile garnish and ingredient that elevates both drinks and desserts with a touch of artisanal craftsmanship.

Originating in Vignola after World War II, Toschi preserves a local cherry heritage, offering a genuine alternative to artificial garnishes. The fruit’s firm bite, glossy exterior, and syrup coating invite you to experiment with flavor and presentation, whether you’re crafting cocktails, topping desserts, or finishing savory plates with a nuanced cherry note.

Versatile uses

• Cocktails: garnish classic Old Fashioned and Manhattan with real Italian cherries for a refined, color-rich finish.
• Desserts: crown ice cream, milkshakes, waffles, zeppole, or bake into cakes and breads for a fruity accent that complements both texture and sweetness.
• Savory pairings: brighten crostini with brie or goat cheese, or finish roast duck and potatoes with a subtle, cherry-forward contrast.
• Size options: choose individual jars for home use or bulk cans for restaurants, cafes, or caterers.
