The cherry selection process is meticulous; every cherry is hand-picked to ensure only the ripest fruits reach the processing station for further sorting.

After selection, the cherries are taken to an anaerobic processing facility, where they undergo a cold anaerobic fermentation. In this controlled environment, the cherries are sealed away from oxygen, allowing precise management of sugar levels, temperature, and pressure. This fermentation process lasts between 7 to 10 days, typically at temperatures ranging from 15 to 18 degrees Celsius, resulting in enhanced flavor profiles.
