The cherry AMARENA DI VERONA belongs to the species Prunus cerasus. It is an old Italian variety originating from the Verona province, which historically developed as a local genetic resource.
The variety belongs to the early maturity group; harvesting begins in early June. The fruits are large, spheroidal in shape, with intense red skin and a short pedicel. The flesh is tender, yellow in color; the juice is colorless; the taste is slightly acidic with moderate sweetness.
The fruits of this variety are traditionally used for making preserves, jams, and for distillation. The term "amarena" in Italy is often a collective name for various cherry varieties; therefore, similar local forms may be described under this name.
