Description
They are rigorously harvested by hand several times a season to respect natural ripeness and to allow us to have a ripe product at the right point. In this way we have a naturally sweet and excellent quality raw material that we process a few hours after harvesting, adding the natural "light" syrup made with water and cane sugar.
The result is a preserved product with the same characteristics of the fresh product with unique organoleptic properties and which enhances the particular flavor of cherries, a typically spring fruit but which is excellent preserved to be consumed in the winter season, when there is not much fresh fruit. season.
It is a classic and evergreen canned fruit, which reminds us of the one prepared for us by our grandmothers.
They are excellent to be tasted naturally, simply by opening the jar, or to prepare delicious desserts, or on ice cream.
The syrup is excellent to drink on its own but is enhanced in the preparation of refined cocktails!
