What kind of preserved cherries use in each dessert, cocktail or dish? Our clients often ask us about this topic… For that reason, we have developed a chart to compare the applications of the different preserved cherries so that you can make the right choice in each case.
In Lazaya, we make three basic types of preparations for cherries: glacing, alcohol and syrup. Everyone has different varieties and presentations.
Aside from glace cherries, cherries in alcohol and cherries in syrup, the family of candied fruits is made up of several typologies of preserved cherries: glace cherries, Maraschino cherries, Amarena cherries, and cherries in liquor.
Cherries in our factory of preserved fruit reach three different production lines.
