Hydro Honey is a newer hybrid process that combines anaerobic and aerobic processing with a specialized secondary drying period. After picking, cherries are dried for 48 hours on shaded drying beds, similar to a natural process. They are then placed in a tank filled with water for a 48 hour fermentation process, split between 24 of aerobic fermentation and 24 hours of anaerobic fermentation. The cherries are then de-pulped and placed on shaded drying beds for approximately 25 days, similar to a honey process. Hydro Honey can also be seen as a hybrid between a natural and honey processing, where a special preparation is carried out between the initial drying and the honey drying.
