OUR PROCESS

WHERE TRADITION MEETS MODERN REFINEMENTS

At Campante, our approach mirrors the passion and patience we bring to life and to mezcal. Crafting our artisanal mezcal is a labor of love, steeped in traditional techniques that are time-intensive and demand meticulous care at every step under the watchful eye of our Master Mezcalero.

THE GRINDING AND FERMENTATION

The artisanal production process maintains the magic contained in every drop of the liquid. That is why we grind our roasted piñas in exactly the same way it has been done for centuries: manually with a large stone wheel called a tahona. The cooked agave piñas are crushed to extract the sweet juice. This traditional method ensures maximum extraction of fermentable sugars from the agave, preparing it for fermentation.

OUR MASTER MEZCALERO

Steeped in his familial traditions coupled with the centuries-old art form of making mezcal, Master Mezcalero, Raul Reyes Rodriguez is a master in his craft. He is a fourth-generation mezcalero who runs his family business alongside his wife and their son, the fifth generation.
