Sour cherries are the fruits of \u201cPrunus Cerasus\u201d, a variety of the cherry tree, commonly known as \u201cacid cherry tree\u201d. They are red drupes, and once ripe they reach a diameter of 1-1.5 cm. Their pulp is light-coloured, almost yellow, and does not stick to the pit. Their taste is very sour. Sour cherries are definitely very different from morello cherries and marasca cherries.<\/p>\n<h2>Are morello cherries and marasca cherries the same?<\/h2>\n<p>If you are wondering whether <strong>morello cherries and marasca cherries<\/strong> are the same , the answer is \u201cyeno\u201d.\u00a0 Marasca cherries are specifically a variety of classic morello cherries. The latter have a light-coloured pulp and juice, a slightly sour and bitterish taste, therefore they are not very good if you eat them plain. Marasca cherries, instead, are more red-blackish, more acid and bitter than morello cherries. They are excellent if used for desserts or liquors , including the excellent \u201cmaraschino\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>A small interesting fact for wine lovers: sour cherries are used to prepare the famous wine from Marche holding the same name, a sweet type of wine served as dessert after a meal, following an ancient tradition.<\/p>\n<h2>Not only \u201cmorello cherry ice-cream\u201d: here is the \u201cCrunchy Amarenata\u201d by RivaReno<\/h2>\n<p>If you prefer morello cherries, instead, the Italian gelato lab RivaReno has conceived its \u201cAmarenata Croccante\u201d (crunchy morello cherry ice-cream). This delicacy is far more than a classic <strong>morello cherry ice-cream<\/strong>, because it is mixed with fiordipanna ice-cream, chopped caramelized hazelnuts and amarettos.<\/p>\n<p>The result is a velvety and rounded ice-cream flavour, characterized by a combination of textures that seduce every palate: the crunchiness of chopped hazelnuts and amarettos is \u201csoftened\u201d by the velvety fiordipanna ice-cream. Morello cherries seal everything, adding a delicious touch, typical of RivaReno.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Morello cherries, sour cherries and marasca cherries look very similar\u2026\u00a0 so, what\u2019s the difference?
