Maraschino (/ ˌ m ær ə ˈ s k iː n oʊ,-ˈ ʃ iː-/ MARR-ə-SKEE-noh, - SHEE-, Italian: [maraˈskiːno]) is a liqueur obtained from the distillation of Marasca cherries.The small, slightly sour fruit of the Marasca cherry tree (Prunus cerasus var. marasca), which grows wild along parts of the Dalmatian coast in Croatia, lends the liqueur its unique aroma.
The name maraschino originates from the marasca cherry of Dalmatian origin [6] and the maraschino liqueur made from it, in which marasca cherries were crushed and preserved after being pickled. [7] Whole cherries preserved in this liqueur were known as "maraschino cherries". [8] This had been a local means of preserving the fruit in Dalmatia. [7]
Compared to other cherries, the fruit of the marasca cherry tree is small, with anthocyanins accounting for its dark, near black colour. [5] Its bitter taste and drier pulp make marasca cherries ideal for creating fine cherry liqueur. By definition, [6] true Maraschino liqueur is supposed to be made only from marasca cherries.
