marasca, Croatian: višnja maraska) is a type of sour Morello cherry known only from cultivation.

[1] It is reputed to attain its finest flavor when grown in coastal Croatia (specifically Dalmatia).

[2] The fruit's largest yield is in Zadar in Croatia, but it has been successfully cultivated in northern Italy, Slovenia, southern Hungary and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The variety was first published by Roberto de Visiani in Flora dalmatica, 1850.

By definition,[6] true Maraschino liqueur is supposed to be made only from marasca cherries.
