Just in time for summer and National Tequila Day on July 24, Cantera Negra Tequila is sharing brand new delicious cocktails!
The premium Cantera Negra portfolio includes Silver, Reposado, Añejo, Extra Añejo and Café,
with no additives (aside from the Café, of course) and with Reposado and Añejo aged longer than standard.
Around 40 years ago, Don Alberto Becherano began making tequila as a hobby, and he spent more than a decade perfecting his proprietary method for making what we believe to be among the best-tasting tequilas in the world.
Cantera Negra means “Black Quarry,” inspired by the rich volcanic soil from where our agaves grow.
Our tequila is handcrafted in small-batch quantities using 100% fully mature Blue Weber agave. We do not believe in cutting corners
and permit only time-honored traditional production methods, and unlike others, we never add sugars or colorings. Because of our proven approach, the outstanding quality of our all-natural product speaks for itself.
