Two and a half centuries after co-founding the Mexican town of Arandas, today’s epicenter of highland tequila production, legendary tequila-producing family Camarena has unveiled Familia Camarena Tequila, a new premium tequila crafted from 100 percent blue agave.
An ingredient in agave, the plant used to make tequila, may help fight bone-weakening osteoporosis and other diseases, Mexican researchers say.
Agave, artichokes, garlic, onions and chicory are rich, natural sources of fructans — nondigestible carbohydrates consisting of molecules of fructose linked together into chains, according to background information in a news release from the American Chemical Society.
The Mexican company Vinos y Licores Azteca has launched a special edition of tequila under the brand name El Conde Azul, which contains flakes of edible gold and silver, company executives said.
Patrón Spirits International, brand owners and marketers of ultra-premium Patrón tequila, has finalized new agreements with several major airlines to offer Patrón onboard. The company has recently secured new partnerships with DFASS to offer Patrón Silver tequila for duty free sales onboard international flights on American Airlines, Delta Airlines, and Canada’s Air Transat.
