The process begins with hand-picked, fully ripe cherries, which are floated to remove defects. The cherries then undergo a five-day anaerobic fermentation inside hermetically sealed GrainPro bags.

After fermentation, the cherries are pulped, and the parchment is submerged in water for an additional day. Drying takes place on bamboo raised beds for approximately three weeks, followed by a one-month curing period in
