Hey there, Italy lovers! Ready for a bite-sized dose of Italian charm? Let's talk about the Ciliegia di Marostica, or Marostica Cherry!
In the early summer, in sunny Veneto region, these little red gems are in their prime! Imagine a cherry so sweet, so firm, and so vibrantly colored, it's got a special PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) stamp from the EU. That means it's the real deal, straight from Marostica, and packed with local pride. [Consortium for the Marostica Cherry PGI]
This charming Medieval walled town on the hills of Vicenza is famous for its epic life-sized chess game in the city center, and it's cherries. Earlier this month, the Marostica Cherry Festival celebrated it's 81st year. [Visit Marostica.]
It's this blend of tradition, quality, and pure Italian joy that captivated Elisabetta and Shannon on their trip to Marostica earlier this year. In addition to meeting with potential new artisans, we were lucky enough to spend an afternoon exploring the town, and it did not disappoint.
