Cuba’s Maestros del Ron Cubano, the island’s resident rum masters, have had their data and experience formally recognised by UNESCO as World Intangible Heritage final week.
The delegation included Havana Membership’s personal Primer Maestro, Juan Carlos Gonzales, and Maestro Asbel Morales, who travelled to Rabat, Morocco, to uphold its software within the ultimate step of the method.
Courting again greater than 150 years, the Cuban rum-making custom has made it “the island of rum,” backed by a crew of people that devoted their careers to the spirit after at the least fifteen years of follow.
The late Don José Navarro, historic chief of the Maestros and creator of the flagship Havana Membership 7 Años rum, typically mentioned that the artwork of Cuban rum is “a cultural heritage, transmitted from Maestro to Maestro, from coronary heart to coronary heart, from Cuban to Cuban”, now the UNESCO recognition will strengthen this information and transmit from era to era.
