Maraschino is a bittersweet, clear liqueur flavored with Marasca cherries, which are grown around the Dalmatian city of Zadar in Croatia. It is one of the very few liqueurs in the world produced by distillation. The liqueur's distinctive flavor comes from the Marasca cherry, and the crushed cherry pits lend an almond-like flavor to Maraschino. Honey is also part of the ancient recipe. The distillate is allowed to mature for two years in Finnish ash vats (this wood does not lend its colour even after many years of maturing), and is then diluted and sugared. It is typically bottled in a straw-coated bottle. The liqueur has been made sinced the Middle Ages in Zadar. In peace and quietness of Zadar Dominican monastery, at the beginning of 16th century, the recipe of authentic Zadar liqueur was made and noted, liqueur which for the first time was prepared just by the apothecaries of the Dominican monastery.Special and full flavoured liqueur was known under the name of “ROSOLJ” (which came from the word “ros solis”- “the sun dew”). Later on, this liqueur was named MARASCHINO, as it was produced from the essence of ripe fruits of Dalmatian cherry marasca as well as from the leaves of its sprigs. In 18th century when at Zadar started the industrial production of liqueurs, Maraschino set out from Zadar and “sailed” into every more important European ports and metropolis. After the destruction of the city of Zara in the Second World War, two original factories were closed and one moved to Italy. A new factory was established in Zadar in Croatia. At present, two factories are the holders of the brand Maraschino Zadarski/Maraschino di Zara, in Croatia and Italy. Although Maraschino cherries are traditionally preserved in maraschino liqueur, today most maraschino cherries are made using artificial ingredients and are non-alcoholic.
