PRODUCT OF MEXICO
EL TEQUILA renowned alcoholic beverage of Mexico,
Most Tequila is the expression of both precolombine and Spanish cultures. With the arrival of Spanish colons along with alambic technology, Mexican people began to distillate Agave, which was traditionally used for the elaboration of Pulque, a fermented indigenous beverage. The alcohol named Tequila is obtained exclusively form the Agave Tequilana Weber var. Azul. Production and commercialization are protected by a Mexican Official Law (NOM). Every lot is checked and certified by the Regulation Council of Tequilas (CRT). The Tequila standards are guaranteed by a “protected designation of origin”, since 1974.

The “jima” or Harvest
Agave plants require an average of 7 to 9 years to reach a perfect maturity and concentration of sugar.
The harvest consists in cutting the leafs and taking of the “piña”.
Agave plants can be harvested all year long.
Tequila REVOLUCION: For the production of our Tequila, Agave plants overcomes a drastic selection process and are 7 to 9 years old, to get the
THE COOKING
Agave piñas are vapor cooked in mampostrería ovens (stones).
The aim of cooking is to transform sugar contents without caramelization.
During the cooking process, starch is converted in sugar.
Vapor cooking drains the honey of Agave, ready for fermentation.
Tequila REVOLUCION: Our piñas are exclusively cooked in stone traditional ovens. This process is longer and more expensive, but enables a better extraction of
CRUSHING
Once cooked, the agave heart (piña) is crushed to obtain the juice and separate it from the fiber (bagasa).
Crushing may be realized with mills o tahonas (old method). The piñas may overcome crushing steps from 2 to 8 times. The more you crush the piñas, the more juice is extracted. However, in every new crushing process, the juices looses its concentration and flavor qualities. Tequila REVOLUCION: The crushing process is only two steps. That way, we only extract the sweetest and most aromatic part of the agave, getting rid of the
