How this product is made
Mezcal is traditionally made through a process that includes the following key steps:

Harvesting: The core of the agave plant, known as the “piña,” is harvested by hand.

Roasting: The piñas are roasted in underground pits, imparting smoky flavors to the mezcal. This is one of the key distinctions between mezcal and tequila production.

Crushing: After roasting, the piñas are crushed to extract their juices. Traditional methods use a stone wheel known as a “tahona,” while modern techniques may involve mechanical crushing.

Fermentation: The extracted juice is fermented using naturally occurring yeasts. This fermentation process can take several days and is an essential part of the mezcal’s flavor development.

Distillation: The fermented liquid is distilled, typically twice, in copper pot stills. The distillation process helps separate alcohol from impurities and contributes to the final product’s character.

Aging (if applicable): Mezcal can be bottled as joven (young) immediately after distillation, or it may be aged in wood barrels for a period to develop additional flavors.
