As they put it “Mezcaloteca is a project devoted to the preservation and promotion of traditional mezcal, its diversity and biocultural processes.” Silvia’s family comes from a line of mezcal producers, and her knowledge and passion for mezcal and education are infectious. As Silvia says , “Mezcal is not just a drink, it’s the culture of a whole country.” One of mezcal’s most prominent evangelists, Silvia is a champion of mezcal made in the traditional way which is in need of preservation as big money from international spirits conglomerates moves into mezcal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Mezcalosfera Espadin from José Cortés was produced in Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca.
