One of the things I love about Mezzetta is their cherries! They taste so fresh and the flavor and texture is so good they almost taste like they were canned at home from fresh cherries. They're nothing like your traditional store-bought cocktail cherries! That is one of the things you can look forward to with Mezzetta products - they taste like the genuine article. I really enjoy using them for my homemade cocktail recipe.
