Step 3 — Controlled Fermentation Fermentation occurs naturally within the whole cherry during drying, under carefully monitored conditions. Time and temperature are managed to enhance fruity expression sweetness, and aromatic complexity.
Step 4 — Yellow Honey Drying Drying is carried out slowly on raised beds, with regular turning, allowing sugars from the fruit to gradually penetrate the bean and develop body, sweetness, and depth.
