FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do these differ from red maraschino cherries? Luxardo cherries are all-natural and dark purple-black. They are candied in syrup rather than preserved in brine and dyed, resulting in a much deeper, more complex flavor.

Do these cherries need to be refrigerated? No. Due to the high sugar content of the candying process, they are shelf-stable. Storing them in a cool, dry pantry is sufficient to maintain quality.

Are the stems still attached? No, Luxardo Maraschino Cherries are provided without stems for easy use in cocktails and culinary applications.

Is there alcohol in the syrup? No, while "Maraschino" refers to the type of cherry and the traditional liqueur, the cherries and syrup themselves are non-alcoholic.

How many cherries are in a 12.3 lb tin? While the exact count varies by fruit size, there are approximately 1,200 to 1,500 cherries per bulk tin.

Can I use the syrup? Absolutely. The syrup is a highly prized ingredient for adding cherry flavor and a deep red hue to cocktails, dressings, and desserts.
