BOTANICAL CLARIFICATION OF THE ORIGIN OF TEQUILA
● Tequila is produced from the blue agave plant.
● The scientific name is Agave tequilana Weber var. azul.
● This plant is not a cactus. 🌵
● Blue agave belongs to the family Asparagaceae.
● Cactus species belong to the family Cactaceae.
● Despite similar appearance, the two families are taxonomically unrelated. 🔬
● Blue agave develops long, pointed leaves that resemble spines.
● This visual similarity causes widespread confusion with cacti.
● The confusion is further fueled by popular beliefs and unverified claims.
● Cactus plants do not contain fermentable sugars suitable for tequila production.
● Tequila is obtained by extracting and fermenting the core of the agave plant.
● The core is called the piña, which means “pineapple” due to its shape. 🍍
● The piña is cooked, crushed, and processed to extract juice.
● That juice is fermented and distilled into ethanol.
● This ethanol is bottled as tequila, in various aging categories. 🧪
● The production of tequila is regulated and defined by geographic origin.
● Only spirits made from blue agave in specific Mexican regions can be labeled as tequila.
● Other agave-based spirits from different areas are labeled differently, such as mezcal.
