Delicious sour cherries, vyssino, are the foundation of this traditional Greek fruit preserve. Whole, pitted cherries are preserved, not candied, floating in an all-natural syrup of sugar and water - no preservatives or additives at all, just simple island sweetness. Vyssino is an all-natural alternative to maraschino cherries and are a childhood favorite, whether served as a spoonful on a small plate or in a tall glass of iced water for a special summer treat. Spoon sweets add versatility to your pantry, great as a quick topping on yogurt or ice cream or in your morning oatmeal.
For foodies with a sweet tooth, Citrus Scent of Memory offers marmalades and fruit preserves that transport you to the Greek island of Chios.
We chose Citrus for the way they have exalted the rare variety of Chian Mandarin, a PGI product, and for the passion they bring to all of their exclusive small-batch products. We love that we can help the team bring the rich history of the Greek island of Chios into a more contemporary, dynamic present here in the States.
