The liqueur was founded in 1818 by Peter F. Heering in Copenhagen and has since been made from natural ingredients with no additives or artificial colouring. The cherries are crushed including the stone, giving the finished liqueur a light, nutty undertone, and the liqueur is matured in oak casks for at least three years before bottling.
