Before being brought to Los Patios the cherries undergo an aerobic fermentation for at least 12 hours and then are depulped. 2nd, a proprietary fruit juice is fermented on its own, which will develop all the precursors. 3rd, the fruit juice is added to the wet parchment to undergo an aerobic phase for 5 hours and then an anaerobic phase for an additional 12 hours. This controlled mixed fermentation creates Solsticio’s profile while preserving the beans’ physical quality and color.
