How to Use

Use whole amarenas as a topping or crunchy inclusion in tarts, bonbons, creams and ice creams, or crush them to obtain an aromatic powder to colour and flavour sponge cakes, coatings and cocktails. Add to moist preparations just before serving to preserve texture.

Whole freeze-dried amarena: sweet, intense cherry all year round

Whole freeze-dried amarena is amarena cherry with the water removed by freeze-drying, keeping its deep red colour, aroma and sweet flavour with its characteristic tangy note intact. The result is a whole fruit, light and crunchy, with concentrated amarena flavour but no moisture or preservatives—far more stable than fresh fruit or fruit in syrup. As it’s not seasonal, it lets you work with amarena all year round with consistent quality. Use as is, as decoration or crunchy inclusion, or crushed to obtain an aromatic powder. As it is a hygroscopic product, it’s best added onto moist bases just before service to preserve crunch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is freeze-drying and why does it preserve amarena flavour better?
Freeze-drying removes water by sublimation (from ice directly to vapour, without becoming liquid) at low temperature. It’s one of the methods that best preserves the sweet flavour, aroma and red colour of the amarena cherry, without preservatives, in a light, stable product all year round.
Why does freeze-dried amarena pair so well with chocolate?
Its sweet flavour with a tangy note contrasts with chocolate’s sweetness, and the fatty medium of the coating protects it from moisture, helping keep its crunchy texture in bonbons and bars. It’s a classic in chocolate work and red-berry pastry.
How should I store it once the package has been opened?
As a freeze-dried product it is highly hygroscopic: it absorbs moisture quickly. Store the amarenas in a dry place at room temperature (15–25 °C), with the pack tightly closed and, preferably, with a desiccant sachet inside to keep the crunchy texture for as long as possible.
