More Info
When the harvest season arrives, Alexander is the first to conduct an inspection, spending every day checking each individual plant and cherry. Achieving optimal cherry ripeness is one of Alex's secrets. During that period, at the beginning of the harvest, he may take long walks through the plantation and return to the processing station with just a handful of cherries.
Once all the ripe cherries are collected, the processing begins, and a further meticulous hand selection takes place.
