Production method
Maraska's Maraschino production is based on the use of the maraska cherry typical of the Zadar hinterland; the company refers to traditional recipes and practices for the product. Specific technical details on distillation and production methods are not described in detail in the official sources consulted.
Producer history Maraska
Maraschino production in the Zadar area has historical origins dating back to the 18th century. The current company operating under the name Maraska was formed from the reorganization of local activities after World War II: the official registration as a state entity took place on 1 November 1948 under the name 'Distillery and liquor factory "Maraschino"' and the name was changed to 'Maraska' on 7 February 1949. Today Maraska d.d. continues the local tradition in the production of Maraschino and other products based on marasca cherries.
Production philosophy
Maraska focuses on enhancing native raw materials, in particular the maraska cherry of the Zadar area, combining local tradition with an international market presence. The company states a commitment to product quality and to developing a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages recognizable for their link to the territory.
