Yola 


Picture
Yola Mezcal, founded by Yola Jimenez, is moving into its 15 year of production and was founded in remembrance of her grandfather's passion for making and enjoying Mezcal. Wanting to highlight the importance of women in the production of Mezcal that often gets over shadowed, Yola partnered with one of the daughters of a local agave farmer in Oaxaca to start this brand. Some of the main goals at Yola include empowering women to fill the important decision making positions within the company which have been long dominated by men and also providing livable wages and child care for employees. Yola is also committed to sustainability by sourcing organic locally cultivated Agave Pinas, creating a zero waste mezcalria in Oaxaca, use of solar power and rainwater catchment systems, and support of local reforestation programs.
