generation. The agave used in Etereo&#039;s tequila is grown in the distillery\u2019s own fields in the lowlands which have been cultivated for three generations. The plants grow in neat rows for six to ten years and are meticulously tended until they are ripe and ready to harvest.\nThe harvester, or \u201cJimador,\u201d removes the agave leaves with a sharp curved tool called a coa. The Jimador trims the 200 plus leaves that protect the heart or pi\u00f1a of the agave until the whole heart is extracted from the ground. Only the heart, or \u201cpi\u00f1a,\u201d of the agave plant is used to make tequila. Mature pi\u00f1as weigh in between a hefty eighty and three hundred pounds; however, the size of the agave heart is not nearly as important as its sugar content. The older the agave, the longer the pi\u00f1a will have to accumulate the starches that will convert into fermentable sugars. Approximately 15 pounds of agave pi\u00f1as are required to produce one liter of delicious tequila.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d494feb qodef-elementor-content-grid elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d494feb\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7885ab7\" data-id=\"7885ab7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-acf3200 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"acf3200\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1668\" src=\"https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/u6kre_KA.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-6067\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/u6kre_KA.jpeg 2500w, https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/u6kre_KA-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/u6kre_KA-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/u6kre_KA-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/u6kre_KA-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/u6kre_KA-1536x1025.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/u6kre_KA-2048x1366.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e10d186\" data-id=\"e10d186\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78e48c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-singlemalt_core_section_title\" data-id=\"78e48c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"singlemalt_core_section_title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m  qodef-section-title qodef-alignment--left  qodef-appear-animation\">\n        <span class=\"qodef-m-caption\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 14px 0px;color: #ADBDC9\">\n                    <span class=\"qodef-caption-line qodef--left\" ><\/span>\n                Step 2 \u2013            <\/span>\n\t\t<h1 class=\"qodef-m-title\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t Cooking\t\t\t<\/h1>\n\t\t<p class=\"qodef-m-text\" style=\"margin: 13px 0px 0px 0px;color: #191919;font-size: 15px\">\n\nDuring this step, steam injection within traditional brick ovens or stainless steel autoclaves is used to activate a chemical process within the pi\u00f1a that converts complex carbohydrates into simple fermentable sugars.

The cooked pi\u00f1as are crushed in order to release the juice, or \u201caguamiel,\u201d that will be fermented. The traditional method is to crush the pi\u00f1as with a \u201ctahona,\u201d a giant grinding wheel operated by mules, oxen or tractors within a circular pit.

Traditionally, the yeast that grows naturally on the agave leaves is used; however, today many distilleries use a cultivated form of wild yeast. Fermentation typically takes seven to twelve days, depending on the method used.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5b6db8e qodef-elementor-content-grid elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5b6db8e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b16c133\" data-id=\"b16c133\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e9b7454 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e9b7454\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/0a600d2f-7747-45d0-a3a2-6e5eda29af55.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-6150\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/0a600d2f-7747-45d0-a3a2-6e5eda29af55.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/0a600d2f-7747-45d0-a3a2-6e5eda29af55-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/0a600d2f-7747-45d0-a3a2-6e5eda29af55-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/0a600d2f-7747-45d0-a3a2-6e5eda29af55-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/0a600d2f-7747-45d0-a3a2-6e5eda29af55-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/0a600d2f-7747-45d0-a3a2-6e5eda29af55-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2b85fae\" data-id=\"2b85fae\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-880f709 elementor-widget elementor-widget-singlemalt_core_section_title\" data-id=\"880f709\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"singlemalt_core_section_title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m  qodef-section-title qodef-alignment--left  qodef-appear-animation\">\n        <span class=\"qodef-m-caption\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 14px 0px;color: #ADBDC9\">\n                    <span class=\"qodef-caption-line qodef--left\" ><\/span>\n                Step 5 \u2013            <\/span>\n\t\t<h1 class=\"qodef-m-title\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t Distillation\t\t\t<\/h1>\n\t\t<p class=\"qodef-m-text\" style=\"margin: 13px 0px 0px 0px;color: #191919;font-size: 15px\">\n\nThe fifth step of creating tequila is distillation, in which ferments are separated by heat and steam pressure within stainless steel pot stills or distillation towers. While some tequilas are distilled three times, the majority are only distilled twice, including IZKALI Tequila. The first distillation, also known as \u201cdeztrozamiento\u201d or \u201csmashing,\u201d takes a couple hours and yields a liquid with an alcohol level of about 20% known as \u201cordinario.\u201d The second distillation, known as \u201crectification,\u201d takes three to four hours and yields a liquid with an alcohol level near 55%. After the second distillation the tequila is considered silver, or \u201cblanco,\u201d tequila.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-328d5d8 qodef-elementor-content-grid elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"328d5d8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-36fabea\" data-id=\"36fabea\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ebbab9d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ebbab9d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-12-16-at-10.40.04.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-6153\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-12-16-at-10.40.04.jpeg 1600w, https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-12-16-at-10.40.04-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-12-16-at-10.40.04-600x450.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-12-16-at-10.40.04-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-12-16-at-10.40.04-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-12-16-at-10.40.04-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2bd059e\" data-id=\"2bd059e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d0660b elementor-widget elementor-widget-singlemalt_core_section_title\" data-id=\"9d0660b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"singlemalt_core_section_title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m  qodef-section-title qodef-alignment--left  qodef-appear-animation\">\n        <span class=\"qodef-m-caption\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 14px 0px;color: #ADBDC9\">\n                    <span class=\"qodef-caption-line qodef--left\" ><\/span>\n                Step 6 \u2013             <\/span>\n\t\t<h1 class=\"qodef-m-title\" >\n\t\t\t\t\tAging\t\t\t<\/h1>\n\t\t<p class=\"qodef-m-text\" style=\"margin: 13px 0px 0px 0px;color: #191919;font-size: 15px\">\n\nAlmost all containers used in tequila aging are French or American white oak barrels that have previously been used to age bourbon.
