“Wild” describes the source of a raw material; it does not certify sustainability or quality. Harvesting before flowering can affect regeneration and relationships with pollinators. Assessment must consider species, population and practice.

For a special commission, origin documentation and producer practices matter as much as availability. We do not promise a batch until its feasibility is confirmed.

Agave and its connection to the table

What to ask before speaking of rarity

Request the scientific name as well as the local name, plant origin, harvesting approach and producer identity. Avoid treating a commercial name as proof of botanical identity.

Traceability is part of value

For a distinctive batch, request origin documentation and a concrete explanation of regeneration practices. Ask what information the producer can share and what remains unconfirmed. A compelling story does not resolve a documentary gap.
