What kind of cherries are used to make marshino cherries?

Maraschino cherries were originally made with marascacherries. These grow around the area of the Adriatic sea. Beginning in the 1880's, the Luxardo company (makers of the famous Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur) began exporting jarred cherries to the U.S. and these were the same cherries which were used in its liqueur, along with the pits. Now, other generic brands of "maraschino cherries' are widely available and these are what most people are familiar with but they bear little resemblance to Luxardo cherries. You can still get Luxardo cherries, however, in specialty gourmet stores or online.
