1word1dayMarasca - noun.
The marasca cherry is a bitter fruit cultivated mainly in Croatia, but it's also found in Italy, Slovenia, Hungary and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Although marascas are distilled into maraschino liqueur, they shouldn't be confused with maraschino cherries used for a garnish. Maraschino cherries are indeed made from real cherries, although sweet ones.
