Gran Centenario Recipes

Gran Centenario® Tequila is Mexico’s #1 super-premium tequila. It has been carrying on Mexican traditions and heritage for more than a century. The creation of Gran Centenario® Tequila begins by selecting and harvesting the best quality Tequilana Weber Blue Agaves. Expert jimadores handpick the agaves that have reached full maturity to ensure that the plants have the best physical characteristics and sugar content to meet required standards. The hearts of the agaves are then cooked in traditional masonry furnaces for two days before extracting the juices needed for fermentation. Gran Centenario® uses two slow distillations in order to preserve all the characteristics obtained throughout the fermentation process. The result is a smooth yet complex product that characterizes exquisite Gran Centenario® Tequila.
