Description
Some ingredients have a story behind them. Amarena Fabbri is one of Italy's most iconic — a wild sour cherry, semi-candied in rich dark syrup using a family recipe that has not changed since 1915. Created by Rachele Fabbri and carried through five generations to over 100 countries, it is the cherry that professional pastry chefs, gelato makers and bakers around the world reach for by name.
The Amarena is not a standard cherry. Small, dark and intensely bittersweet, it has a complexity that sets it apart from commercially grown sweet cherries — a depth of flavour that holds its character through cream, chocolate, baking and freezing. The syrup it rests in is equally valuable: rich, dark and loaded with Amarena flavour, it works as a soak, topping or coulis in its own right.
Frutto e Sciroppo — Italian for "Fruit and Syrup" — is the classic format: pitted Amarena cherries and their syrup together in one jar, ready to use exactly as they come. Each jar contains 500g of pitted cherries at 16/18 calibre (1.6–1.8cm diameter), approximately 150 individual cherries — uniform in size, consistent in flavour, no preparation needed.
The 16/18 calibre is well-suited to individual portion work: gelato cups, small tarts and tartlets, mignon pastry, petit fours and plated desserts where a delicate, well-proportioned cherry makes the difference between a good finish and a great one.
The Black Forest Connection
Black Forest cake is one of the most-ordered celebration cakes in the UAE — and the cherry is what makes or breaks it. Amarena Fabbri's bittersweet intensity cuts through cream and chocolate in a way a glacé cherry simply cannot. Use the cherries as a filling between sponge layers and as decoration on top, and use the syrup to moisten and flavour the sponge. One jar covers every stage.
