- Casa Natima masters both artisanal and modern processes to create tequila profiles tailored to global market demands.
- Innovation goes beyond production: Casa Natima implements green technologies to promote the sustainability of the tequila industry.
- The master distiller plays a crucial role in bridging tradition and modernity in the development of new tequila profiles
In the heart of Amatitán, Jalisco, the land breathes history. There, where tradition blends with the landscape, Casa Natima draws inspiration from contemporary Mexico by combining artisanal processes with 21st-century technology, creating authentic and unique tequila profiles.
Tradition, however, is always the starting point. The artisanal process begins with the jimadores, who harvest the agave hearts using the traditional coa. It then continues with cooking in masonry ovens, grinding with volcanic tahonas, and then engaging in double distillation process in the renowned copper stills. Finally, the spirit is kept in French or American oak barrels to begin the aging process.
The Master Distiller: Guide Between Two Worlds
Casa Natima’s master distiller is the bridge between ancestral tradition and modern innovation.
He understands the science of distillation, but also respects the intuition that only time provides. His role is not limited to supervision: he interprets aromas, adjusts timings, and creates unique profiles that transcend generations.
The technology at Casa Natima’s disposal enhances his sensitivity but does not replace him—it accompanies him. Machines measure; the master interprets. In this union, Casa Natima finds its signature.
Sustainability: Part of Our Tradition
At Casa Natima, sustainability is an essential part of its philosophy. This is why its parent company, Grupo Solave, aligns its strategy with the United Nations 2030 Agenda, contributing to 12 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
Today, part of the energy used in production comes from solar panels installed at the distillery, significantly reducing electricity consumption. Agave bagasse, a byproduct of distillation, is not discarded but recycled as a source of biothermal energy, generating considerable electricity savings.
Additionally, Casa Natima can plan production sustainably, respecting the natural cycles of the agave and avoiding overexploitation. This direct connection to the fields ensures responsible and traceable supply, applying careful agricultural practices that protect soils and promote biodiversity.
All these practices make Casa Natima a distillery that builds new traditions; it does not pit artisanal against modern—it integrates both. From the youngest blancos, capturing the freshness of freshly distilled agave, to aged tequilas with golden hues and woody notes, each expression results from a dialogue between time, technique, and passion; an act of respect for the past with a vision for the future.
