The process honey despulpado fermentado (fermented pulped honey), the cherries are rested in carbonic maceration for 72 hours, at night they are pulped, the next morning they are lightly rinsed with clean water to eliminate the degraded mucilage and are taken to begin their traditional drying, 2 to 3 days in direct sunlight and then they are taken to a patio with 50% shade mesh for another 25 days approximately.
