Origin & Craftsmanship
This confection is part of Slitti’s Dolcezze line, made in Tuscany, Italy. It features sweet, juicy cherries enveloped in successive layers of fine chocolate and finished with a dusting of bitter cocoa powder. Slitti’s meticulous drageé technique ensures a satisfying crunch on the outside, protecting the soft fruit within. 

Flavor Profile
The first bite gives you crisp chocolate shell, transitioning to the rich, smooth chocolate layers, and finally the tart-sweet cherry core. The finishing cocoa powder adds a refined, slightly bitter note that balances the overall sweetness. 

Accolades & Awards
Slitti’s Black Cherry dragées have enjoyed recognition among connoisseurs for their balance of texture and flavor, and are often featured as a signature artisanal product in gourmet confection collections. 

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Start by letting the chocolate shell crack gently as you bite into it—this initial crispness gives way to a silky chocolate interior, then the cherry’s juicy, slightly tart finish. The cocoa dust at the end lingers, cleansing the palate and preparing you for the next bite.

For pairing, try a semi-dry sparkling wine or a cherry-forward red wine (like a light Pinot Noir) to echo the fruitiness. A smooth cognac or cherry liqueur works beautifully with the layers of chocolate and fruit. On the non-alcoholic side, a black tea with dried fruit undertones or a delicate oolong tea supports the depth without overwhelming it. For a textural contrast, nibble on toasted almonds or a crisp biscotti alongside.

Summary

Slitti’s Chocolate Coated Cherries are an elegant blend of crisp chocolate and succulent cherry. The careful layering and finish of cocoa powder create a refined balance of texture and flavor—perfect for gifting or as an indulgent treat when you want something both fruity and chocolatey.
