After harvest, ripe cherries are floated using Penagos machines at the family's mill, then pulped and sun-dried on raised beds with the mucilage intact. The duration of drying determines the depth of the honey layer: cherries are monitored closely and moved to shaded patios to finish once the desired colour is reached. Rather than raking the drying beds into rows, Oscar instead allows a crust to form and flips the entire bed — a signature technique he credits with producing a more uniform and consistent final cup.
