Creador Madre Cuish

Madre Cuish

Madre Cuishe is one of the many varieties of agave karwinskii, a species that grows tall like a tree. This lot took twelve to fourteen years to mature and was harvested semi-wild in Santa Maria Zoquitlán.  

After cooking, the dense, log-like agave piñas were milled with a gas-powered wood shredder. 

This is José Alberto’s first batch of Madre Cuish.
