Asimismo, para su cosecha, es necesario que lleguen a una edad madura, que suele tardar de entre 7 a 9 años. Una vez tengan la edad adecuada, se comienzan a cortar las pencas para llegar al corazón o piña del agave y son seleccionadas conforme su peso y tamaño. Found in southern Mexico across Oaxaca, Puebla, Guerrero, and Michoacan, Tobalá is an incredibly rare variety that cannot reproduce asexually (unlike many other varieties that can propagate sexually and asexually). Instead, it relies on bats and birds to spread its seed. Tobalá takes between 10 and 15 years to mature and produces low-yielding piñas with a low inulin content. For this reason, the earthy, fruity mezcals it produces are often very expensive. a b c d e f "Mezcal"[Mezcal] (in Spanish). Oaxaca: Municipality of Oaxaca.

Origen del mezcal Regular tequila drinkers may note a similar profile in mezcals made from Espadín. This is no coincidence: Agave Tequilana, better known as Blue Weber agave, is another variety of the Agave Angustifolia species. Hoy en día en toda la República Mexicana se produce el mezcal, pero únicamente ciertos estados cuentan con la Denominación de Origen, que es otorgada por el Gobierno Federal, un distintivo que sirve para identificar los productos que son originarios de aquellas regiones, países o ciudades; siempre y cuando cumplan la calidad, reputación y factores naturales que requiere el producto. Despite its ultra-modern looks, this eye-catching mezcal is produced with the utmost artisanal care and traditional methods. Verde Momento’s dedicated craft distillery opened in the Oaxacan village of Tlacolula in 2017 and is capable of producing 7,000l of batch-distilled mezcal a year.Not all bottles of mezcal contain a " worm" (actually the larva of a moth, Comadia redtenbacheri, that can infest agave plants), but if added, it is added during the bottling process. [19] There are conflicting stories as to why such a thing would be added. Some state that it is a marketing ploy. [5] Others state that it is there to prove that the mezcal is fit to drink, [18] and still others state that the larva is there to impart flavor. [9] [19]

In the 21st century, mezcal is still made from the heart of the agave plant, called the piña, in much the same way as it was 200 years ago. [4] [5] In Mexico, mezcal is generally consumed straight and has a strong smoky flavor. [5] Though other types of mezcal are not as popular as tequila, Mexico does export the product, mostly to Japan and the United States, and exports are increasing as the liquor grows in popularity. [6] [7] Otro punto para diferenciar es su porcentaje etílico, en el tequila sus grados de alcohol van de los 30 a 40 y es producido solo en Jalisco, Guanajuato, Michoacán, Tamaulipas y Nayarit. Por otro lado, el mezcal puede sobrepasar los 40 grados, así que este último es más fuerte. ¿Qué mezcal comprar? Las nuevas fronteras para la acumulación de la industria del agave en la región mixteca". Radio Zapatista (in Mexican Spanish) . Retrieved 14 March 2021. The production of mezcal moved from the coastal river basins of the Río Grande de Santiago to the inland ravines by the early 1700s to evade the prohibition on spirits production, as well as to take advantage of the larger numbers of wild agave plants in the interiors. The plants used expanded to highland cultivars of Agave angustifolia, as well as Agave rhodacantha in Jalisco, and Agave hookeri in Michoacán.

Para empezar, él mezcal es obtenido a través de agaves o también conocidos como magueyes, los cuales son plantas y existen más de 200 especies, donde solo entre 12 a 15 son mezcaleros.

The CRM currently allows mezcal production in nine different states: Oaxaca, Durango, Puebla, Guerrero, Michoacán, Zacatecas, San Luis Potosí, Tamaulipas, and Guanajuato. Upwards of 90 percent of the bottles exported to the U.S. come from Oaxaca, with Durango placing a very distant second place behind it. After that, the remaining seven states contribute around 1 percent of mezcal exports combined. Types of Agave Used in Mezcal ProductionUnlike tequila, aging is not an important aspect of mezcal production. Mezcal production has traditionally taken place in rural communities, and the cost of barrels is prohibitively expensive. But even now, when production is much more commercially focused than before, most mezcal enthusiasts argue that barrel aging only detracts from the spirit’s ability to showcase terroir. Travelers during the colonial period of Mexico frequently mention mezcal, usually with an admonition as to its potency. Alexander von Humboldt mentions it in his Political Treatise on the Kingdom of New Spain (1803), noting that a very strong version of mezcal was being manufactured clandestinely in the districts of Valladolid ( Morelia), Mexico State, Durango and Nuevo León. He mistakenly observed that mezcal was obtained by distilling pulque, contributing to its myth and mystique. Spanish authorities, though, treated pulque and mezcal as separate products for regulatory purposes. [12] Regulation [ edit ] A typical maguey landscape

After Tahona stone milling, natural fermentation with its own yeast in ayacahuite pine vats and double distillation in maestro mezcalero Doroteo Garcia’s small copper still, it is bottled at 42% ABV. Within Mexico, mezcal is regulated under Norma Oficial Mexicana (NOM) regulations, originally NOM-070-SCFI-1994 (in 1994), by the industry body Consejo Mexicano Regulador de la Calidad del Mezcal A.C. (COMERCAM, the Mexican Regulatory Council for Mezcal Quality). This regulation became law in 2003, and certification began in 2005. [15] Ciertas civilizaciones hace miles de años, poseían bebidas que se consideraban como sagradas, desde los chinos, egipcios y por supuesto en México, uno de esos elixires era el mezcal, que sólo lo conseguían ingerir sacerdotes y los altos mandos en ciertas ocasiones. Unterschiedlich sind auch die Schritte während der Produktion und der Ort der Herstellung.Tequilakommt ursprünglich aus der Region rund um diegleichnamige Stadtin Mexiko.
