Luxardo Gourmet Maraschino Cherries (2x400ml)

This twin-jar set of Luxardo Gourmet Maraschino Cherries gives you double the supply of one of the most versatile ingredients in an Italian dessert kitchen — real marasca cherries, candied and preserved in Luxardo’s own syrup, ready for gelato, pastry, and cocktails alike.

An ingredient with 200 years behind it

Luxardo has made maraschino cherries the same way since 1821: cherries picked from marasca trees, candied to keep their firmness, and jarred in a syrup that doubles as an ingredient in its own right. Half of each jar is cherries, half is syrup — both are usable, and neither goes to waste.

Where they shine in gelato and pastry

For a gelato or pastry program built around Italian ingredients, these cherries are a natural fit: fold into cherry or amarena-style gelato, layer into semifreddo, or use as a filling and topping for cakes and tarts. The syrup works as a ready-made drizzle or a base for a cherry glaze, with no thickening agents or preservatives added.

And in the glass

Outside the kitchen, these are the cherries a proper Manhattan or Old Fashioned calls for — deep in color, nutty in aroma, and nothing like the bright-red jarred cherries sold as a cocktail afterthought. Drop the syrup into a soda or a mocktail for the same flavor without the alcohol.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between this and the 400g jar?
This is a two-jar set (2 x 400ml) — better suited to kitchens that go through cherries and syrup regularly, or that want extra syrup on hand for cocktails and glazes without opening a second jar mid-batch.

Do I need to refrigerate it?
Store unopened jars in a cool, dark place; refrigerate after opening to keep the cherries and syrup fresh.

Is this the same product sold on Elio Importing?
Elio Importing carries Luxardo cherries in wholesale case quantities for restaurants, bakeries, and gelaterias. This listing is sized for smaller kitchens and home use.
