We’ve reached the end of our journey and with it the fifth and final episode of the Olmeca Altos Short Films: Bringing It Home. Bringing It Home travels from Mexico, where the guys meet the country’s most recognised bartender, to high-end bars in London, where local top bartenders share Olmeca Altos cocktail recipes, and discuss how perceptions of Tequila are continuously evolving.
Yes, we’re back once again with the fourth film in the series. Master Distiller focuses on the infinite passion of Jesús Hernández, one of the finest Tequila distillers in the world, and head of the Olmeca distillery, as he unearths the secrets and myths of its production.
As promised we’re back once again with the third film in the series. Tahona takes a look at why the ancient Tahona method used to produce Olmeca Altos creates a more flavoursome Tequila, before moving on to Biko – Mexico’s highest rated restaurant – to see how they use the same volcanic rock in their contemporary kitchen.
Over the next few weeks we’ll be bringing you the following three chapters from Olmeca Altos. There are five in total and this week we’re kicking off with the first two, Los Altos and 100% Agave.
Geneticists working in Central Mexico have mapped the genome of the blue agave, a desert plant used to make tequila.
A research team led by June Simpson Williamson said on Thursday that it took them six years to sequence 35,000 genes in Agave tequilana Weber.
