 irsch is an eau-de-vie (clear "white" fruit brandy) produced from cherries. Only the tart, intensely-flavored Montmorency cherries are used, from the Niagara Falls region in upstate New York. The cherries are picked at their ripest, quick-frozen to preserve their optimum flavor - then cold-fermented with a select winemakers' yeast. To extract all the natural flavor, the whole fruit is fermented, including the pits.

It takes about 5 pounds of cherries to yield a single 200 ml bottle of Kirsch eau-de-vie. The result is a clean, but subtle cherry aroma with a hint of almond, delivering a smooth, long finish - a perfect accompaniment or follow-up to chocolate desserts, fruit or almond tarts. In recipes, Kirsch accentuates the flavors of other ingredients without being overpowering. In cocktails, it adds the true, distinctive cherry flavor without the artificial cherry taste often associated with this precious fruit.
