Consistency
Soft and juicy, sweet-tasting with sour notes.
Amarena black cherries are a variety of cherry characterized by its sour and tart flavor. Its flowering tree is definitely one of nature’s best spectacles during the spring season.
Once detached from the branch, sour cherries should unfortunately be consumed within a few days because they tend to wither and degrade quickly. Fear not, through drying, Makadamia gives you the chance to enjoy them all year round!
It is said that it was Lucius Licinius Lucullus, the Roman gourmand famous for his abundant “Lucullan” banquets, who first discovered the goodness of these fruits during a trip to Asia Minor. Since then, black cherries have been a constant presence on the tables of Italians during the months of May and June.
Taste and texture: The distinguishing characteristic of sour cherries is their sour and tart taste. This makes them ideal for use in culinary preparations where a touch of acidity is desired. The fruit’s tart notes are diluted by the sweet taste of apple juice. The texture is soft and juicy.
Use in the kitchen: Black cherries are very versatile and can be eaten whole, such as for cake decorations or as an ingredient in salads, or more commonly as a natural sweetener for low-fat yogurt. We at Makadamia, for example, use them as a topping for our oatmeal.
Properties: Amarena cherries are rich in Vitamin A and beta-carotene.
