And so… During the grape harvest time of the year, they decided to collect the first red grape marcs and to sort our manually all the seeds in it.
The grinding process of the seeds opened up a perfect scenario for the food market use: fruity scents combined with chocolate and vanilla notes were so distinct that became clear the great combination in development.
