El debate decisivo sobre el pisco IV: Reflexiones finales

La mesa redonda, que se realizó en el local de Cenfotur, tuvo dos grandes conclusiones: la necesidad de una reforma urgente del reglamento de la Denominación de Origen (DO) Pisco y del Consejo Regulador (CRDO-PISCO). En Gestión, somos conscientes de que el debate debe continuar, de manera multidisciplinaria, en aras de enaltecer la calidad del pisco –nuestra carta de presentación ante el mundo– y posicionarlo como el mejor de los destilados.

Luego de tres rondas de preguntas, estas fueron las últimas reflexiones de los seis expertos convocados:

El debate decisivo sobre el pisco III

Se convocó a seis expertos en el tema de diversos puntos de vista. El objetivo de la mesa redonda, que se realizó en el local de Cenfotur, se ajustó a una discusión técnica sobre el reglamento de la Denominación de Origen Pisco (DO), si era necesario hacer cambios en aras de que se enaltezca la calidad. Justamente en esta tercera entrega se intenta dar respuesta a esta pregunta, que consideramos la más relevante por contener las propuestas para el futuro.

El debate decisivo sobre el pisco II

Propusimos tres preguntas a los panelistas: 1) ¿Hay crisis en la industria del pisco?, 2) ¿existe un control de calidad a nivel comercial y productivo? y 3)¿qué debe corregirse en los reglamentos y normas sobre el pisco?

En esta segunda entrega toca responder a la pregunta N°2, respecto al control de calidad en la industria pisquera.

One of the largest food commodities exported from the developing countries to the rest of the world, cocoa has gained increasing attention on the global market—raising many questions about its quality, sustainability and traceability. Cocoa Production and Processing Technology presents detailed explanations of the technologies that could be employed to assure sustainable production of high-quality and safe cocoa beans for the global confectionary industry. It provides overviews of up-to-date technologies and approaches to modern cocoa production practices, global production and consumption trends as well as principles of cocoa processing and chocolate manufacture. The book covers the origin, history and taxonomy of cocoa, and examines the fairtrade and organic cocoa industries and their influence on smallholder farmers. The chapters provide in-depth coverage of cocoa cultivation, harvesting and post-harvest treatments with a focus on cocoa bean composition, genotypic variations and their influence on quality, post-harvest pre-treatments, fermentation techniques, drying, storage and transportation. The author provides details on cocoa fermentation processes as well as the biochemical and microbiological changes involved and how they influence flavour. He also addresses cocoa trading systems, bean selection and quality criteria, as well as industrial processing of fermented and dried cocoa beans into liquor, cake, butter and powder. The book examines the general principles of chocolate manufacture, detailing the various stages of the processes involved, the factors that influence the quality characteristics and strategies to avoid post-processing quality defects. This volume presents innovative techniques for sustainability and traceability in high-quality cocoa production and explores new product development with potential for cost reduction as well as improved cocoa bean and chocolate product quality.

Coca tea has been decocainized and does not contain cocaine. It does not have the same effect as cocaine, and can not be used to manufacture cocaine. Coca tea is a healthy beverage with no known adverse effects. However the coca tea can create a false positive for cocaine in drug tests. We suggest going off coca tea for a few days and drinking lots of fluids if you will be needing to do a urine test.

Coca tea has been used for thousands of years by the people of the Andes in order to help them better cope to living life at such extreme altitudes. Although the plant is now more infamous for being the main ingredient in the production of cocaine, its other, more beneficial uses are now being explored, with coca tea leading the way.

Coca tea promotes alertness and sense of well being without the jangly edge of coffee. Enjoy much as you would any other type of tea: soak for five minutes in boiling hot water and sip. We like to add a little honey for sweetness. Below are just a few more things coca tea can possibly do for you:*

Diuretic and as an helpful aide for digestive problems. It displays antiseptic and analgesic properties, and is very effective in cases of gastritis.

Helps prevent flatulence and diarrhea. Helps to stimulate blood cells to carry more oxygen, helping with altitude sickness, vertigo, and vomiting. Can help purge the body of toxins, particularly alcohol. It helps replenish physical strength and vital energy. Optimizes the metabolism of carbohydrates. Helps relieve food cravings. Soothes the vocal cords. Is effective against motor nerve system diseases, helping to relieve pain from conditions such as arthritis and rheumatism

Unlike its illicit distant cousin, coca tea is completely safe to drink, with no risk of addiction or overdose. It can be freely produced, distributed, sold, and used anywhere in the world. Bouncing Bear offers you the finest coca tea leaves which can be prepared like traditional tea by dipping the tea bags in hot water.
