Tequila Blanco Avion Ingredients
Method
Tequila Blanco Avion Preparation
- 1
Harvesting Agave
Harvest mature agave plants, typically after 7-10 years of growth. Remove the leaves to reveal the piña (heart).
- 2
Cooking Agave
Cook the piñas in an autoclave or traditional brick oven at a temperature of about 85°C for 24-48 hours to convert starches into sugars.
- 3
Mashing
Once cooked, crush the piñas to extract the sweet agave juice. This can be done using a mechanical shredder or a traditional tahona (stone wheel).
- 4
Fermentation
Mix the agave juice with water and add the yeast. Allow the mixture to ferment in a controlled environment for 5-7 days.
- 5
Distillation
Distill the fermented liquid twice in copper pot stills to obtain the desired purity and flavor profile.
- 6
Bottling
After distillation, the tequila is bottled directly, retaining its clear color and fresh agave flavor.
