Tahona wheel

0 Comments

Read Now
 
A tahona wheel is a traditional tool used in the production of mezcal, a type of distilled beverage made from the agave plant in Mexico. The tahona wheel is used to crush the agave plant and extract its juice, which is then fermented and distilled to create the final product.

The tahona wheel is typically made of stone and is mounted on an axis that allows it to be rotated by a donkey or a horse. The agave plant is placed on top of the wheel, and the donkey or horse is used to turn the wheel and crush the agave. This process helps to break down the tough fibers of the agave and extract its juice, which is then collected and used in the production of mezcal.

The tahona wheel is an important part of the traditional production process for mezcal and is often considered a symbol of the authenticity and craftsmanship of the beverage. It is still used by some mezcal producers today, although it has largely been replaced by more modern methods of extracting agave juice.
