The Alquitar still is considered to be much older than the alembic and although it was introduced by the Moors into the Iberian Peninsula it was first used by the Orientals. It is preferred by many in Portugal and Spain for distilling superior quality beverages due to its longer distillation period.
This Premium Copper alquitar still comes with a copper pot, soldered union construction, and a helmet lid which functions both as a vapour chamber and as the condensing recipient and allows for both simple and steam distillations.
The pot is divided into two parts and a copper sieve tray can be purchased to separate the organic materials from the water. The second part can be removed to perform simple distillations.
