Agave–Cuishe

One of the most distinctive profiles within the agave family, the Cuishe or Greñudo variant, has a large size, as well as lance-shaped leaves that open at the top, giving it the appearance of a pineapple. It is precisely because of these characteristics that it is more difficult to harvest and process. In addition, it is also a wild agave so it is extremely difficult to find. It offers an intense flavor with notes of tropical fruit, spices and minerals.
