luxardo Gourmet Maraschino Cherries 2.2 lb can — 160 whole marasca cherries, rich syrup

Luxardo Gourmet Maraschino Cherries are whole candied marasca cherries preserved in Luxardo’s signature syrup, sold in a 2.2 lb (1 kg) can for bartenders, restaurants, and home mixologists.

These Luxardo cherries have long been a staple behind the world’s top bars, prized for their dense texture, deep cherry flavor and rich syrup that elevates cocktails, desserts and plated desserts. Packed in a one-kilogram tin with roughly 160 cherries, they replace mass-market bright-red cherries with an artisanal ingredient that keeps well in professional use and large-batch service.

How do these cherries improve cocktails and garnishes?

Luxardo cherries add concentrated cherry flavor and a refined visual finish to drinks without the cloying claret taste of artificial varieties. They hold their shape in stirred, shaken and baked recipes, imparting a richer aroma and color to every sip.

• Intense marasca cherry flavor that complements spirits like bourbon and dark rum
• Firm flesh stays intact on skewers and in heated preparations
• Syrup provides additional sweetening and flavor depth to mixes

What are the product specifications and certifications?

The cherries come in a 2.2 lb (1 kg) sealed can containing approximately 160 whole cherries preserved in Luxardo marasca syrup. They are Kosher certified and formulated for commercial kitchen and bar use, ensuring consistent portioning and long on-shelf usability.

• Net weight: 1 kg (2.2 lb) can
• Approximate count: 160 whole cherries per tin
• Kosher certification for broad foodservice compatibility

How should I store and use the cherries for best results?

Unopened cans store well in a cool, dry place; after opening, transfer contents to a sealed container and refrigerate to retain texture and flavor. Use the syrup to sweeten batched cocktails, spoon over desserts, or reduce it into glazes and sauces.

• Store unopened in pantry; refrigerate after opening in covered container
• Use whole for garnishes; reserve syrup for mixers or reductions
• Portion control is easy with consistent cherry counts per tin

Can these cherries work beyond cocktails?

Yes—their concentrated fruit profile and robust texture make them useful across pastry, culinary plating and creative beverage programs. Chefs use them in tarts, compotes, cheese boards and as a finishing touch on plated entrees that benefit from a sweet-tart accent.

• Garnish desserts, ice cream, and pastries with whole cherries
• Create compotes, sauces or reductions from the preserving syrup
• Pair with charcuterie or cheeses for contrasting sweetness and acidity
