What are Luxardo cherries?

Luxardo cherries are whole Marasca cherries candied in Italy in their own rich syrup, using Luxardo's proprietary 200-year-old process — a different product from the bright-red dyed maraschino cherries found in most supermarkets.

Why are Luxardo cherries so expensive?

Luxardo cherries are made from real Marasca cherries in Italy using a slow, proprietary candying process passed down over 200 years, rather than the artificially dyed, corn-syrup-packed cherries typical of mass-market brands.

Do Luxardo cherries have alcohol?

No, the cherries themselves are non-alcoholic — that's distinct from Luxardo's separately-sold Maraschino Liqueur.
