GEOGRAPHIC AND CULTURAL ORIGINCantiano Sour Cherries are made with Amarene di Cantiano, locally known as visciole — small, dark red Morello cherries traditionally associated with the municipality of Cantiano in the Marche region of Italy.
These distinctive cherries grow on smaller trees than conventional sweet cherries and develop a deep crimson-to-near-black color. Naturally very acidic when fresh, they acquire a rich and complex character through traditional processing.
MorelloAustera has been producing Amarena di Cantiano in the Cantianese territory since 2005, preserving the character of this local fruit and bringing it to gelaterias, pastry makers and food professionals.
The Amarena di Cantiano is also included in the Slow Food Ark of Taste, an international catalogue dedicated to unique traditional products that belong to the cultural, historical and gastronomic heritage of communities around the world.
The Visciola di Cantiano is officially listed among the Traditional Agri-food Products (Prodotti Agroalimentari Tradizionali – PAT) of the Marche Region, as published in the Official Gazette.
TECHNIQUE AND ARTISANAL CRAFTSMANSHIP
The preparation follows a traditional and carefully controlled process designed to preserve the integrity of the whole fruit.
The cherries are first carefully pitted and left to drain overnight. Their natural juice is then combined with sugar and reduced to create a thick, concentrated syrup.
Once the syrup has cooled, the whole pitted cherries are combined with a carefully selected blend of spices and gently brought to a simmer. The preparation is then jarred while still hot and undergoes a short pasteurization process.
The jars are stored in a cool environment for approximately two months, allowing the cherries to slowly macerate in the syrup and develop their characteristic depth, aroma and balance before distribution.
ORGANOLEPTIC AND CHARACTERISTICS
Cantiano Sour Cherries offer an intense and authentic fruit character, balancing the natural acidity of Morello cherries with the sweetness of the syrup.
The cherries have a deep crimson-to-near-black color and a rich flavor reminiscent of baked cherries, complemented by subtle notes of cinnamon, clove and lemon.
The fruit remains juicy and whole, surrounded by a dense, aromatic syrup that provides a rich texture and concentrated flavor.
The result is a traditional preserve with a distinctive sweet-and-sour profile, where the intensity of the fruit remains at the center.
CULINARY USE
Cantiano Sour Cherries are exceptionally versatile and can be enjoyed both as a topping and as an ingredient.
They are ideal for enriching gelato, ice cream, panna cotta, cheesecake and other desserts, adding both fruit intensity and texture. The cherries and syrup can also be swirled into yogurt and served with granola, or incorporated into cakes and other baked preparations.
They can be used in fruit salads, pastry recipes and creative culinary preparations, while the aromatic syrup can provide an additional layer of flavor to desserts and cocktails.
A refined specialty for bringing the distinctive character of Cantiano sour cherries to both traditional and contemporary recipes.
PRODUCERSMorelloAustera is rooted in a culture of small-scale entrepreneurship, cultivation and artisanal food production.
Since 2005, the company has worked with fruit and traditional preparations from the Cantianese territory, developing products for gelaterias, pastry shops and specialist distributors in Italy and abroad.
Its philosophy is based on quality, attention to raw materials and continuous improvement, creating products that allow professionals to express their own creativity while bringing authentic fruit flavors to the table.
TERRITORY
MorelloAustera is based in Cantiano, in the Marche region of Italy, a territory characterized by forests, hills and a rich agricultural and gastronomic heritage.
The company’s identity is closely connected to this landscape and to a local culture where craftsmanship, agriculture and food traditions have been passed down through generations.
The MorelloAustera orchards cover approximately 11 hectares of Cantianese land, contributing to the preservation of a fruit whose cultivation and transformation have long formed part of the local heritage.
Historical records also attest to the reputation of Amarene di Cantiano beyond the region. In the early 20th century, the fruit received recognition at international exhibitions, including a Gold Medal at the International Exhibition in Paris and a Cross of Merit at the International Exhibition in Milan. Documentation also records an order placed by King Vittorio Emanuele II in 1928.
Today, production remains limited and closely connected to the local territory, making Amarena di Cantiano a distinctive niche ingredient for Italian gelato, pastry making and gastronomy.
MorelloAustera’s approach is based on simplicity, careful selection of ingredients and respect for traditional food production.The cultivation of Amarene di Cantiano across approximately 11 hectares contributes to maintaining a traditional local crop and preserving the relationship between the fruit, the landscape and the community that has developed around it.
The company’s small-scale production model combines agricultural knowledge with artisanal processing, focusing on careful handling of the raw material and controlled production quantities.
By working with gelaterias, pastry makers and specialist distributors, MorelloAustera helps bring a locally rooted ingredient to a wider market while maintaining its connection to the traditions and territory of Cantiano.
