Production method

Tequila is made by distilling a specific variety of agave, the agave azul, or blue agave in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, Mexico. The agave is still grown in the traditional way, with the plants reaching an average weight of 70 or 110 kg. After “cutting” the leaves, the piña, the juiciest inner part, is cooked slowly to allow the compound sugars to become simple sugars suitable for fermentation, and then everything is ground in order to extract a very sugary agave juice. This juice will then be left to ferment in order to obtain a must with a low alcohol content full of aromas and flavours; this will be the basis of the final product, which will then be distilled. After that, the product can be aged or not: if the tequila is bottled and sold immediately, it will be almost transparent in color and will have the wording “plata” or “silver”, otherwise with the wording Reposado.
