There are many ways to access the very vast diversity within Mexican food and drinks. Some love spirits, others honey or tea. But Martina ( from @colectivoamasijo) has been working with many different producers from around the country trying to showcase milpa-based agricultural products. We hope you enjoy this episode that delves into the many faces of Mexican agriculture.

Lamparillo Puntas

If there has been an agave that I've been aggressively celebrating for the last few years, it definitely has been Lamparillo.

I still remember the first time I tried and I was so confused.I just didn't know that an agave could create that specific set of flavors and aromasBut most importantly I couldn't imagine the kind of landscape that could foster such an unique agave.

To better understand this convoluted story please welcome Sergio Garnier, patrón at Ultramundo Mezacal, and his tremendous love for the dessert.

If you want to buy the puntas box, that includes the lovely lamparillo puntas, head to MagueyMelate.com and find the "Heritage Mezcal Box" in its shop. Available starting June 10th.

Stable Pulque

So many of the most valuable Mexican products are tremendously fragile.

A perfectly ripe zapote, a prime "lechón", a fresh habanero salsa and my always beloved pulque.

In this episode with Cesar Ojeda, aka @intergalacticyeastieboy, we talk about some of his most recent experiments regarding pulque fermentation, we touch a bit on social justice and we do laugh quite a bit.

Welcome to Heritage Mezcal, I hope you enjoy this one.
