Emilian Origins: Amarena Cherries from Vignola and Modena

Amarena (Prunus cerasus var. austera) is a sour cherry cultivated in Italy for centuries. The prime growing areas are **Vignola (Modena)**, the Modena countryside and the Marche region. It is the star of the Emilian confectionery tradition, especially the famous **crostata di amarena of Modena** and the **Bolognese torta di tagliatelle**. Preserving amarena cherries in syrup originated in 19th-century farmhouses to extend the shelf life of this seasonal fruit with a short harvest period (June-July).
