Clase Azul Tequila Blanco is made from 100% organic blue Weber agave, which is the main ingredient in this premium tequila. The blue Weber agave is grown for a minimum of 9 years before it is harvested, ensuring that it reaches full maturity and develops the complex flavors and aromas that are characteristic of Clase Azul Tequila.
The agave plants used in the production of Clase Azul Tequila are organically grown, meaning that no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides are used during their cultivation. This ensures that the agave plants are free from harmful chemicals and that the tequila produced from them is of the highest quality.
The process of making Clase Azul Tequila Blanco starts with the slow cooking of the agave hearts, also known as piñas, in traditional brick ovens. This slow cooking process, which takes 72 hours, allows the agave to release its natural sugars and develop rich and complex flavors.
Once the agave hearts have been cooked, they are then crushed to extract the juice, which is then fermented. Clase Azul Tequila uses a proprietary yeast strain that has been developed by master distiller Arturo Lomeli. This yeast strain is crucial in the fermentation process, as it helps to convert the sugars in the agave juice into alcohol, creating the base for the tequila.
After fermentation, the tequila is then distilled in copper pot stills. Copper is known for its ability to remove impurities and create a smooth and clean final product. The distillation process is carefully monitored and controlled to ensure that only the best and purest flavors are captured in the tequila.
Clase Azul Tequila Blanco does not contain any additional ingredients or additives. It is made solely from the organic blue Weber agave, which is the star of the show. This allows the true flavors and characteristics of the agave to shine through in the final product.
The main ingredient in Clase Azul Tequila Blanco is 100% organic blue Weber agave. The slow cooking, proprietary yeast, and copper distillation all contribute to the unique flavors and quality of this premium tequila. Enjoying a glass of Clase Azul Tequila Blanco is a truly special experience that allows you to appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into its production.
