Luxardo The Original Maraschino Cherries | Gourmet Cherries | Ideal For Cocktails | Product of Italy | Approximately 890 Cherries Per Tin - 12 Lbs Can.

only $15 a pound. But I used to get them for $8. Still, prices must go up and they are delicious.

There are photos below in the review that show a very damaged can. The packaging that my can came in had the 12 lbs. can double bubble wrapped and boxed. It was then boxed in a larger Amazon box with packaging material to cushion the main box inside. It came in perfect condition with a two year expiration date (1/2023). FYI, The cost breakdown is about .75 cents an oz. for the 12 lbs. can. (New Price as of June 6, 2021 = .86 an oz.) Also in answer to another poster's question the big difference between Luxardo and Toschi Cherries besides cost (Toschi = .50 cents oz. in double can pack) is that in my opinion the Luxardo Cherries are sweeter and have a heavier syrup. The Toschi cherries have a slight sour fresher flavor tang to them with a lighter syrup. I would say that it is a matter of taste and you have to taste BOTH side by side to tell the difference. Also the Luxardo can says "do not refrigerate" while the Toschi can says to refrigerate the unused portion. I hope this helps people.

Best cherries for Manhattans and Old Fashions that are readily available. Never needs to be refrigerated after opening. I keep my opened can in cool pantry and scoop what I need in smaller jar for my bar.

I used these cherries to infuse in clear liquor, so we will see how it turns out. The only issue I have with this product and rated it 4 out of 5 is because the can was dented quite a bit which added a little difficulty opening with a can opener. The cherries inside the can are very delicious and sweet! These are so much better than the standard American style Maraschino Cherry. I would buy them again!

The best price is to buy in quantity! These excellent cocktail cherries, and the syrup, are top-rated...but can be expensive in the small jars. It’s just the two of us, but in the large cans, these Luxardo cherries last as long as you need them to. I keep a smaller jar filled from the big can...works great. Save some money, buy in quantity!
