Zotter Chocolates Amarena Cherry
$11.00 / 2.47 oz Bar
- by Zotter Chocolate
- Austria
In this bar from Zotter Chocolates, milk chocolate yields to a creamy center of pink cherry mousse studded with bits of Amarena cherries. (There’s also marzipan, vanilla, and a wafer-thin layer of white chocolate.) The sum of all these layers is even greater than its parts. Austrian chocolate maker Zotter uses a “hand-scooping” method to create this rich, bright, and fruit-forward bar, a perfect pair with a hunk of Murray’s La Tur and a dollop of Divina Sour Cherry Spread.
“The creamy cherry mousse found in this bar gives you a burst of flavor with every bite. If you want to bring out more of the cherry flavor while also mixing it up, try adding in spice to your sweet bites using Murray’s Spiced Cherry Preserves.”

- Creamy milk chocolate complements the silkiness of a cheese like Robiola Bosina, especially with the addition of V Smiley Cherry Rosehip Hibiscus Honey Jam.
