Bacanora is the most traditional
drink in the state of Sonora, Mexico, just as
the Tequila is the most traditional drink in
Jalisco, Mexico. Bacanora has more than 300
years being produced in the state and the secrets
of its elaboration have been taught through
many generations.
This tradition is so important
that Sonora Querida, a very traditional song,
mentions Bacanora.
On November 6, 2000 the Official
Gazette of Mexico published the “General
Declaration of Protection to the Name BACANORA”.
The former declaration appoints Sonora as the
only state in which the production of Bacanora
is acknowledged
 |
Bacanora
is produced from Agave Pacifica,
also called Agave Yaquiana,
whose scientific name is Angustifolia,
a plant that grows in the Sonoran
Mountain Range. |
