Alpaca
Alpaca, also known as German silver, is permitted as a cutlery material.
It is a metal alloy of copper, nickel and zinc in different proportions: copper: 40-70%, nickel: 10-20%, zinc: 5-40%.
It is used (except for bombilla production) for table cutlery, musical instruments, jewelry and much more.
Contrary to its name, it does not contain silver. It is characterized by greater hardness and corrosion resistance.
IMPORTANT #1: Before using the bombilla for the first time, you should clean the inside to remove any production residues.
IMPORTANT #2: Alpaca bombilla changes color (also turns dark in the packaging), which is a normal process (oxidizes) and is not a reason for complaint.
