Tequila is made from the Blue Agave, a member of the lily family often mistaken for a cactus. The plant requires 8-12 years before reaching maturity. The agave is then harvested for the "Pina", basically the base / core, which when the stalks are cut away looks like the base of a pineapple. The Pina is cooked and juiced. The juices are then fermented and distilled twice. You now have 100% Blue Agave Silver / Platinum or Plata tequila (All mean the same thing.)
