  The agave piñas are then steam-cooked in custom-built stainless-steel\n      autoclaves developed by founder and Maestro Tequilero Cirilo Oropeza to\n      achieve delicate extraction and a balance between fresh and cooked agave\n      character.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      The cooked piñas pass through roller mills to extract their remaining\n      sugars. The leftover fibrous agave, or bagasse, is repurposed as\n      fertiliser, including for use by local farmers.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      During fermentation, Espolòn continues one of Cirilo's distinctive\n      traditions by playing classical music while the yeast works.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      Distillation combines traditional pot stills and column stills. The pot\n      still contributes a more earthy character, while the column still creates\n      a lighter, fruitier profile.
