The magic happens in Jalisco, Mexico, where Cantera Negra grows its 100% blue agave plants. The blue agave fully mature in the volcanic rock-rich soil and are harvested at their peak.

Blue agaves are planted eight to ten years prior to harvesting. Each batch of tequila in Cantera Negra is handcrafted and distilled twice. They also use in-house coopers and hand-crafted oak barrels to complete the creation of the flavors.
A New Generation of Tequila Makers
Cantera Negra was founded more than forty years ago and gained fame through the work of Don Alberto Becherano and the perfection of his proprietary method. Before any of their tequilas make it onto store shelves, they go through the Becherano family tasting panel.

The tequila brand itself was a tough secret to crack for Lance Gildner and Team Buckeye. After tasting the tequila for the first time on a trip in 2006, Lance sought to bring it to America, and after nine years trying to learn the name of the tequila, he finally got answers.
Lance met with the family of the distillers and they agreed to provide him with an exclusive license to import. After a few more years of preparation, the tequila came to America in 2015 under the name of Cantera Negra.
