FaneKantsini: A Mezcal Project Rooted in Community and Tradition (Spanish)

Food & Wine en Español featured FaneKantsini, the exceptional mezcal project led by Maestra Mezcalera Sósima Olivera. The article highlights the deep connection between mezcal, community, and culture in Oaxaca’s Chontal region, where FaneKantsini is produced using ancestral techniques like clay pot distillation.

More than just a spirit, FaneKantsini represents a powerful model of local empowerment. Sósima and the Tres Colibrí cooperative are redefining what ethical mezcal production looks like, honoring the land, respects agave’s natural cycles, and ensures economic benefits stay within the community.

This approach stands in stark contrast to the increasingly industrialized mezcal landscape. FaneKantsini’s production remains small-batch and deeply personal, grounded in the philosophy that mezcal should be more than a commodity, it should be a cultural expression.

At Premium Agave Imports, we’re proud to partner with Sósima to bring FaneKantsini to the US for the first time. It’s more than mezcal, it’s a mission.
