Juerte Pulque Distilled is a beverage made in Tlaxcala from the Agave salmiana. It is produced from the fermented sap of the agave. This fermented liquid is then distilled, and that is what you will find in the Juerte bottle. Pulque distillate is a treasure lost in time. Its earliest traces date back to the viceroyalty era. Oral accounts later place its use during the Porfiriato, when pulque-producing haciendas sent their barrels to Mexico City by train, and the surplus production was distilled to be sold to the laborers in company stores.
However, production of the drink ceased, and for almost a century it disappeared from Mexico's culinary landscape. Juerte has revived the recipe to give it the place it deserves in Mexico's culinary history.
