What is coulis de luxardo?

Coulis de luxardo refers to a type of thin pureed fruit sauce, specifically made from Luxardo cherries, which are a brand of maraschino cherries. This sauce captures the essence of the fruit, providing a smooth texture that can enhance various dishes, desserts, or cocktails. The process of making a coulis involves blending the fruit and straining it, resulting in a silky finish, characteristic of coulis. This makes it distinctly different from thicker fruit sauces, which retain more texture and body. Unlike pastry sauces or chocolate sauces, coulis de luxardo emphasizes the fruit flavors, making it an ideal accompaniment for a range of gastronomy applications.
