For over a century, the Pacheco family has been making some of the finest charanda in Uruapan, Michoacán, Mexico. Charanda is a sugarcane distillate that can only be made in sixteen municipalities in Michoacán. The raw material (piloncillo, or sugarcane molasses) may only come from within the D.O. (Denomination of Origin) which speaks to the very specific volcanic red soil—called charanda in the native language of Purepecha—that can be found in the region. The soil, which is extremely high in minerality and iron, creates the perfect cane-growing conditions when combined with the warm days and cool nights in Michoacán.
