De La Calle’s Tepache was born from Alex Matthews’ love for food, culture, and travel. Drawn to Mexico City’s markets beyond popular neighborhoods, he discovered the enchanting variety of Tepache. Meeting Rafael Martin Del Campo, who learned Tepache from his grandmother and studied culinary arts, led to a partnership. Together, they developed De La Calle’s unique fermentation process, blending traditional and modern ingredients to create a delicious, healthy drink that honors this ancient Mexican beverage.
