Description
Spirit DrinkMexico, a country of extremes, is as diverse as it is vast. From the arid north to the tropical south, the North American country is home to more than 180 million people. Conquered and colonised by the Spanish from the 16th century, the cultural remains of great civilisations - including the Olmecs, Mayas, and Aztecs - stand alongside modern life in bustling cities and under the dense canopies of rainforests.Planting, tending, and harvesting the agave plant remains a manual effort, largely unchanged by modern machinery and relying on centuries-old know-how. 64 Year-old Félix Almaraz de la Cruz has worked alongside his two brothers in the agave fields of Mexico's Jalisco region for twentyJimadorThe farmer who cultivates and harvests agave plants used for making tequila. Highly skilled, a jimador can identify the precise moment an agave is ripe for extraction.Blame It on The BoogieThe patron of endless fun (and often messy) nights, there's nothing quite like tequila to channel a party mood.

As a jimador, his working day starts as the sun begins to spread its warm light across the land and continues until it sets behind the mountain peaks in the early evening. Responsible for 70 hectares of land - with approximately 100,000 agave plants under his care - he carefully harvests an average of 200 plants daily, six days a week. With each plant weighing 20-25 kg, the job is as physically demanding as the camaraderie is strong - and at peak times he will cut for up to eight hours a day, amassing up to five tons of piña. -Did You Know?Yucatan was named after a misunderstanding. When the Spanish arrived, they asked locals what the place was called-to which they replied, "Yucatan," meaning "I don't understand you."Mexico's indigenous Aztec population ruled for three hundred years before the country was invaded by Spanish conquistadores. Despite being known for their bloodshed and -barbarity, appeasing the gods with mass human sacrifice, the Aztecs also appreciated the value of education, sport and the arts.Mundo Tequila is produced and refined in Mexico and bottled in Denmark. The spicy spirit is carefully crafted to a stringent set of rules, continuing the age-old tradition of tequila-making. With a higher purity of agave (Piña:Quite literally, pineapple, referencing the head of the agave plant after the leaves are cut off. Agave piñas are steamed to soften before pulverising the starches into fermentable sugars.Tequila for DinnerAlthough typically drunk neat or in cocktails, tequila isn't just for drinking.Versatile and complex, cooking also calls for a generous splash of tequila to season and draw out flavours - without overpowering the dish. Adding a subtle flavour of its own, Mundo can be used to marinate fish, glaze chicken or pork, or add a tipsy kick to tropical fruits. The complex flavour of tequila also makes it a great accompaniment to Asian food.MezcalAll tequilas are mezcals, in much the same way that scotch and bourbon are types of whisky, but not all mezcals are tequilas. Mezcal is alcohol distilled from more than 30 species of agave. Tequila can only be made from the blue agave.Party AnimalThe tequila worm is the stuff of legend. Although, in fact, it isn't a worm. Neither does it belong in a bottle of tequila.The larva of one of two types of moth that live on the agave plant, the infamous 'worm' actually belongs in a bottle of mezcal-the sweet and smoky cousin of tequila. Although never a traditional part of mezcal production, to this day several theories and myths surround the addition of the worm: as a taste enhancer, a marker of purity, a symbol of luck and, for the more cynical among us, simply a clever marketing trick, supposedly bringing magical and transcendent powers to those brave enough to eat it.A Brief History of TequilaTequila hasn't always been the drink we know and love today. Its history is as long and rich as the refined drops in this very bottle.The Aztecs esteemed a fermented drink known as pulque, made from the sap of the agave plant. Centuries later, when the Spanish invaded Mexico, the thirsty conquistadores turned to a mezcal-like mixture of mud and agave when their brandy supplies ran out. In the 1700s, tequila began to be distilled commercially. More than two hundred years later, in the 1970s, the term 'tequila' was declared by the Mexican government as its intellectual property, ensuring the quality and rich culture surrounding the spirit remains to this very day.
