Zarza Tequila Blanco

Zarza tequilas are made from 100% blue agave grown in the rich volcanic soil of the Volcán de Tequila. Sourced from two separate regions of Jalisco – the Lowlands and the Highlands – each lends its own unique flavor to the finished product. The agave plants are harvested by hand, and the piñas (the hearts of the agave) are prepared using two different methods that allow control over the flavor, for the perfect tequila. Half of the piñas are slow-baked for up to 54 hours in centuries-old traditional brick ovens with thick stone walls, called hornos, while the other half are cooked in modern ovens that allow greater control over the process. Our distillery is one of the few with a natural spring running through its grounds, supplying water for our tequilas. The water flows down from its source on the Volcán de Tequila through soil rich in minerals and nutrients, giving the tequila additional dimensions of character.
