TheAmarena cherry (Italian:amarena) is acherry grown inBologna andModena, two cities ofItaly. It is usually bottled in syrup and used as a decoration on rich chocolate desserts.
The Amarena is a variety of thePrunus cerasus developed by Gennaro Fabbri who was born in 1869 in Bologna, Italy. His wife, Rachele, took over an old general store inPortomaggiore, which was near a wild black cherry orchard. She picked the cherries andcooked them in sugar in copper pots. To thank his wife for the treat, he bought a ceramic jar from Riccardo Gatti, an artist fromFaenza. The white and blue ceramic jar was then used to sell the syrup and start a small company.[1]
He started commercial production of cherry related products in 1905 under the Fabbri brand.[2] The Fabbri company is still family owned,[1] and produces a number of natural cherry pastries, syrups,[3] and beverages.
