LA PLANTA DE AGAVE NUNCA ESTUVO DESTINADA A CONVERTIRSE EN UNA BEBIDA DESTILADA INSÍPIDA Y BARATA...
Todos los tequilas son mezcales. Todos los mezcales se elaboran a partir de agaves. Y cada botella de mezcal es el resultado extraordinario de colaboraciones entre emprendedores del agave, botánicos, destiladores, distribuidores de bebidas, bartenders y entusiastas. Este fascinante libro del reconocido etnobotánico Gary Paul Nabhan y el pionero restaurantero David Suro Piñera explora la conexión entre todos ellos.
La destilación del agave es parte ciencia y parte arte. Alma de agave muestra cómo los métodos tradicionales de producción de mezcal están inspirando a una nueva generación de entusiastas de los destilados del agave. Remontándose a una tradición ancestral, los autores comparten su experiencia para entender la historia detrás de una botella del emblemático destilado de México, e invitan al lector a un viaje apasionante por la arqueología, la botánica y hasta las consecuencias del cambio climático.
«Este libro es una auténtica celebración de cómo el respeto de una comunidad por su biodiversidad puede crear magia líquida».—José Andrés
