process

After the ripe cherries are harvested, they are sent to the mill where a machine removes the pulp, leaving the berries covered in mucilage, a sticky substance rich in natural sugars and alcohols. The berries are then fermented in vats for 12 to 24 hours to break down the mucilage. Once fermented, they are washed and dried in the sun for a few days.
