Process
-
Selective picking of ripe red cherries
-
Slow drying of cherries on raised beds to obtain the desired moisture content
Harvest - A method called selective picking is followed where labour is taught to recognise & pick only the perfectly ripe cherries. Not too early, not too late.
Process - Raised beds are used to dry the cherries naturally in the sun. The cherries are constantly raked to ensure that all parts are equally exposed to the heat & air circulation is maintained for even drying.
The Result -
Selective Naturals that are fruity, bold, acidic & oh so surprising in their flavour & fragrance.
