generation to 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-9e5ef23 qodef-elementor-content-grid elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9e5ef23\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\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-f49861a\" data-id=\"f49861a\" 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-790a0d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-singlemalt_core_section_title\" data-id=\"790a0d1\" 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\" style=\"color: #FFFFFF\">\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: #DAD6D6;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. Modern distilleries now use a mechanical crusher to separate the fiber from the juices. Once the pi\u00f1as are minced they are washed with water and strained to remove the juices.\n\n<\/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-5da1214 qodef-elementor-content-grid elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5da1214\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\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-d9f16af\" data-id=\"d9f16af\" 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-2419afa elementor-widget elementor-widget-singlemalt_core_section_title\" data-id=\"2419afa\" 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 4 \u2013            <\/span>\n\t\t<h2 class=\"qodef-m-title\" style=\"color: #FFFFFF\">\n\t\t\t\t\tFermentation\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t<p class=\"qodef-m-text\" style=\"margin: 13px 0px 0px 0px;color: #D6D5D5;font-size: 15px\">\n\nDuring the fermentation process the sugars are transformed into alcohol within large wooden vats or stainless steel tanks. Yeast may be added to accelerate and control the fermentation. 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<div class=\"elementor-column

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-01eecca qodef-elementor-content-grid elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"01eecca\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\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-f2031f2\" data-id=\"f2031f2\" 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-6332e1d elementor-widget elementor-widget-singlemalt_core_section_title\" data-id=\"6332e1d\" 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<h2 class=\"qodef-m-title\" style=\"color: #FFFFFF\">\n\t\t\t\t\tAging\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t<p class=\"qodef-m-text\" style=\"margin: 13px 0px 0px 0px;color: #D6D5D5;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. Reposados are aged between two and twelve months, A\u00f1ejos are aged between one and three years and Extra A\u00f1ejos are aged for over three years. The longer the tequila ages, the more color and tannins the final product will have. The condition of the barrels (such as their age, previous use and if their interiors have been burnt or toasted) will also affect the tequila\u2019s taste.<\/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<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1a1705e\" data-id=\"1a1705e\" 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-7f49e8c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7f49e8c\" 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\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-784009b qodef-elementor-content-grid elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"784009b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\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-715257f\" data-id=\"715257f\" 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-0ae3ac0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0ae3ac0\" 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=\"1280\" height=\"854\" src=\"https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/70108d55-0e47-4dad-a3b6-9320285ac26d.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-6068\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/70108d55-0e47-4dad-a3b6-9320285ac26d.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/70108d55-0e47-4dad-a3b6-9320285ac26d-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/70108d55-0e47-4dad-a3b6-9320285ac26d-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/70108d55-0e47-4dad-a3b6-9320285ac26d-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/etereotequila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/70108d55-0e47-4dad-a3b6-9320285ac26d-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/>\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-397c748\" data-id=\"397c748\" 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-98e45b5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-singlemalt_core_section_title\" data-id=\"98e45b5\" 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 7 \u2013             <\/span>\n\t\t<h2 class=\"qodef-m-title\" style=\"color: #D6D5D5\">\n\t\t\t\t\tBOTTLING\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t<p class=\"qodef-m-text\" style=\"margin: 13px 0px 0px 0px;color: #FFFFFF;font-size: 15px\">Almost all containers used in tequila aging are French or American white oak barrels that have previously been used to age bourbon.
