Description

Cherries are picked when ripe as usual, and delivered to the mill where they enter a demucilager rather than a pulper.

The demucilager works by spraying pressurised water at the cherry, blasting the mucilage off, as well as having ‘barbs’ on the inside to remove the flesh.

Cherry enters at the bottom and is spun around inside the barbed cylinder whilst being sprayed and exits at the top as a cleaned bean in parchment.

The cleaned bean is then pushed through a pre-dryer to quickly remove excess water before being dried in a guardiola.

This process greatly reduces time and spent preparing the cherry for export, and by skipping the fermentation stage, removes any opportunity for over-fermentation to occur.
