TAP/7 – Production | Extraction

Key Notes

The clay brick oven gives a certain minerality to the flavor
Tapatio use two different extraction methods, roller mill and tahona
The more efficient is the roller mill – it crushes the agave for the juice
The tahona is less efficient but has more complexity – the fiber and the juice keep interacting and the tahona stone adds some further minerality that can even create smokiness in the flavor
The fibers from the tahona is fermented together with the juices collected
