The Making of Orgullo Ajeno
WHERE CRAFT MEETS COMMUNITY
Slow Kiss of Fire: These piñas (hearts) are then slow-cooked in traditional ovens to unlock their natural sweetness.
Women of Extraction: Adept hands, predominantly those of our talented 95% female workforce, then gently extract the agave nectar, honoring the artistry of generations past.
At Orgullo Ajeno, we believe tequila is more than just a spirit; it's a story bottled. Our story begins in the heart of Jalisco, Mexico, at Casa Maestri, NOM 1438, our distillery steeped in tradition and empowered by a remarkable team.
Here, under the warm Mexican sun, the magic unfolds:
Agave's Embrace: Our journey starts with meticulously hand-selected, fully mature Weber Blue Agave hearts.
“Yes, why? because the dedication we women have to achieving our goals is strong, and we do the impossible to conquer our aspirations.”
Celia Maestri, when asked about women in positions of leadership at her distillery.
Fermentation's Dance: The extracted nectar is then fermented using a special yeast blend, allowing natural sugars to transform into alcohol.
The Alchemist's Touch: Finally, our experienced distillers double-distill the fermented liquid, coaxing out tequila's pure essence.
