Production & Sourcing
Sultana raisins are made by drying seedless grapes of the Vitis vinifera variety, renowned for their sweet taste and light color. Harvested when ripe, these grapes are gently washed and then laid out to dry naturally under the sun or through artificial drying methods. The drying process removes moisture from the grapes, gradually transforming them into raisins. Once adequately dried, they develop their characteristic golden hue and plump texture.
