Gelato all'amarena

Gelato all'amarena is a traditional gelato flavor that incorporates amarena cherry preserve. The base is neutral, usually made with vanilla-flavored ice cream or with fior di latte flavor made with milk, cream, and sugar. This neural base is then streaked with amarena syrup and cherries. Amarena cherries are native to Emilia-Romagna. These dark, wild cherries are usually preserved in syrup and are then used as a topping or garnish.
