Hotel Starlino Italian Maraschino Cherries

The finishing touch for gelato, ice cream sundaes, cocktails, and desserts like cheesecake or mixed into cookie dough. These Italian Maraschino Cherries bring balanced sweetness and a signature pop to every glass and bowl.

They’re made in Naples, Italy, from Marasca cherries that are slowly candied and then matured in their own natural juice for more than two weeks, which gives them depth and texture. There are no artificial flavors or colors. Hotel Starlino is a fourth-generation, family-owned business.

Use them as a cocktail garnish, a dessert topper, a cheese board accent, or a baking ingredient. They’re also a good gift for home bartenders, entertainers, and anyone who loves good food, and the elegant glass jar looks right on a bar cart or pantry shelf.

More About the Maker: Hotel Starlino is an Italian aperitivo brand launched in 2019 by Elwyn Gladstone. Its look draws on Italy’s Stile Liberty (Art Nouveau) and on the grand hotels of northern Italy at the turn of the century. The range includes a bourbon-barrel-aged rosso vermouth, rosé, orange, and elderflower aperitivos, and Italian maraschino cherries, all made in Italy. The vermouth and aperitivos are made with the Vergnano family at Torino Distillati, a distillery near Turin that has been working for more than a century.

The maraschino cherries come from Naples, where the Marasca variety, smaller than Amarena cherries, is slowly candied and matured in its own natural juice for more than two weeks. The cherries are crafted in Naples by a family business and have no artificial flavors or colors. They are a balanced, sweet cherry with a subtle savory depth and a signature pop, made to garnish a cocktail, top a bowl of gelato, or sit on a cheese board.
