In his PhD in evolutionary biology, Ivan Saldaña focused on Agave plants. This theoretical background combined with years in the practical experimentation in the creation of top selling spirits have made of him an international reference.
Production details
Mexico is the birthplace of corn. Approximately 10,000 years ago corn appeared as the result of the domestication of teosinte. Of the many criollo corn varieties originating in Mexico, only cacahuazintle corn is used to produce Nixta. Cacahuazintle has large, bulky kernels typically used to make pozole, esquites and corn bread. Unlike GMO corn hybrids, this ancestral corn has been passed down for generations and cultivated for its taste instead of its commercial productivity.
