Description
Girolamo Luxardo moved to what is today known as Zadar, Croatia in 1817 as a consular representative of Sardinia. It was his wife that became enamored with the local Dalmatian liqueur, the Rosolio Maraschino. In 1821 Girolamo opened a distillery and soon after received a certificate from the emperor of Austria that acknowledged its exceptional quality. Their liqueurs became known far and wide along with their growing and impressive range which included the Original Maraschino Cherries, Limoncello, and a cherry liqueur.By 1913 the company had grown considerably, opening a new state-of-the-art distillery. The operation along with the Luxardo bloodline barely made it through the Second World War, but a new distillery with its very own cherry orchards thrives today in Torreglia, the Veneto region of Northeast Italy. It employs traditional copper-pot stills while constantly upgrading and investing to stay at the forefront of the industry. Their flagship Maraschino liqueur and a range of award-winning products are a cocktail staple, along with cherries, syrups, wines, brandies, and many others. The Original Maraschino Cherries are a classic cocktail ingredient that has been a staple garnish in Manhattans, Singapore Slings, and various other mixed drinks for decades. The candied sour marasca cherries are sourced from the family’s orchard of over 30.000 trees and soaked in Luxardo marasca cherry syrup with no additives or preservatives. It’s the same syrup that is used to infuse the Sangue Morlacco Cherry Liqueur with its signature sweet cherry deliciousness. They are candied fresh and have an inviting dark color and rich flavor.Complete your cocktail cabinet with a jar of these today!
