Albero d'Oro Marasca Cocktail Cherries Launch in the U.S.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Albero d'Oro Marasca Cocktail Cherries Launch in the U.S.

The new "cherry on top" is a fusion of old-world craftsmanship and pure, natural ingredients

(Chicago, IL) – October 27, 2025 – Albero d'Oro, hand-picked marasca cherries that bring a bright, bold cherry flavor to your glass or plate, is proud to announce its U.S. launch. The signature 400g jar (SRP $19) leads the lineup, alongside 120g jars (SRP $9). Albero d'Oro is poised to become the new "cherry on top": perfect for cocktails (Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Spritz), Italian-style desserts and pastries, sodas, non-alcoholic cocktails, and more. They are available in retail stores nationwide and for purchase online.

Albero d'Oro – meaning "The Golden Tree" – blends Italian culinary heritage with cherries from Bulgaria, one of the most important agricultural crops in the world's premier cherry-growing region. The company traces its roots to an Italian family who relocated to Bulgaria during the 1950s migration wave, bringing with them generations of experience in fruit preservation and confection crafting. Their technique begins with a brief saltwater brine that balances natural sugars and sets the cherry's firm texture. The cherries are then gently rinsed and finished in a rich, aromatic syrup that highlights their natural character.

"Our goal with Albero d'Oro was to bring back a traditional approach to marasca cherries – fruit that tastes like fruit," says Eli Raffeld, Co-Founder of Golden Tree USA. "These cherries are Non-GMO, Kosher-certified, and deliver delicious natural flavor without any alcohol, so they can be enjoyed by all ages in anything from an Old Fashioned cocktail to an ice cream sundae."
