Luxardo Maraschino Cherries are whole, pitted, sour cherries that have been candied with marasca syrup. These cherries are known as some of the best cocktail cherries in the world, used by casual drinkers and professional mixologists alike. This bulk size can is ideal for bars, restaurants and ice cream parlors. Luxardo Maraschino Cherries are considered special because of the unique process used to produce them. Unlike most maraschino cherries, which are made from sweet cherries that are soaked in a syrup made from corn syrup and artificial flavorings, Luxardo Maraschino Cherries are made from a specific variety of sour cherries called Marasca cherries. The cherries are grown in the region of Veneto, Italy, around the town of Torreglia, where the Luxardo family has been producing them since 1821.
