Savoring the Flavor of Agave: A Journey into the English Names of Tequila
The Origins of Dragon Fruit
Tequila, a spirit made from the blue agave plant native to Mexico, has been enjoyed for centuries by locals and visitors alike. However, its popularity in recent years has led to increased demand for this unique beverage. As such, it's no surprise that tequila has gained a foothold in international markets and is now widely recognized around the world.
The Blue Agave Plant
The blue agave plant is at the heart of tequila production. It takes approximately 8-12 years for these plants to mature enough for harvest, with some varieties taking up to 25 years! Once harvested, only certain parts are used in the production process - typically just one or two leaves per plant are chosen based on their quality and size.
Distillation Process
After harvesting, agave hearts are cooked using steam or autoclaves before being pressed into juice called mosto (must). This must is then fermented with yeast before distillation occurs twice - first as a rough distillate called ordinarie or ordinario followed by a second distillation known as rectificación which refines it further.
Different Types Of Tequilas
There are several types of tequilas available today including blanco (silver), reposado (rested), añejo (aged) and extra añejo (extra aged). Blanco tequilas have not been aged while reposado have spent at least two months resting in oak barrels; añejos have rested between one year up until three years while extra añejos rest beyond that time frame.
