A saccharomyces cerevisiae specifically selected to ferment blue agave for the production of tequila, supplemented or not with other types of sugars. Its excellent performance in this environment is due to the ability to tolerate toxic substances such as furfural, normally present in agave juice. It has also increased tolerance to osmotic pressure and alcohol and can work in conditions of extreme temperatures.
Recommended minimum dosage rate 0.5 g/L. Recommended fermentation temperature: 32°C (89.6°F). Alcohol tolerance is about 15%.
