Random Fact of the Day: You might think you know the maraschino cherry, but in all likelihood, you know only a neon red, sticky shadow of the real thing. While the maraschinos that frequent most sundaes and Shirley Temples today are certainly sweet, they lack the rich amaretto flavor, nearly black hue, and century-old history of the real thing: the Luxardo maraschino cherry.
The distillery was founded in 1821 by Girolamo Luxardo, an Italian consul living in Zara (Zadar in Croatian), a town in the Austrian-controlled Kingdom of Dalmatia. In the early 1900s, Luxardo, a family-owned company, began concocting a cherry liqueur made from sour marasca cherries. It wasn’t long before they began selling the cherries themselves, stewed in a sweet syrup made from marasca cherry juice and sugar. These sweet and sticky orbs were labeled “maraschino cherries.”
Meanwhile, in the United States, a horticulturalist by the name of Ernest Wiegand figured out how to re-create the taste of the Luxardo cherry. This version, however, used American Royal Anne cherries bathed in brine, calcium salts, almond flavoring, and red dye. Though delightfully sweet, they taste nothing like the Luxardo variety.
During World War II, the Luxardo distillery and its cherries nearly disappeared. But one family member, Giorgio Luxardo, was allegedly able to flee to northern Italy with a sapling of a Marasca cherry tree and his family’s recipes. Luxardo’s maraschino cherries have since lived on and are still sold by the company.
