Sun, sky and sea
The Greek summer
and spirit of free-
dom travels to
small islands
drenched in the
colors of the
Aegean. Friends
gather at beaches
and the country-
side, in gardens, courtyards and balconies.
The summer aromas of jasmine and hon-
eysuckle mix with the sweet sound of
glasses colliding together. The senses sur-
render and the fun begins! Stin
ygia sas! Cheers! The leading
role in this camaraderie …is
Ouzo.
It is difficult for someone at
such times to imagine how the
charming story of Ouzo, the leader of the
Greek drinks, began, our national drink
which requires art in order to produce and
art to indulge it.
The Art of distillation
From the alembic tradition-al copper boiler of distilla-
tion which was discov-ered by the Arabic peo-ple and operated initially in the laboratories of the alchemists during the
Middle Ages. Their discovery of “Al-kool”, the water of life, had for years been used for medi-cal purposes. From the Arabic
people the art of distillation passed to
the Byzantium and to the monks of monas-teries. Raki the ancestor of Ouzo.
From the above mentioned the secrets of distillation spread to the agricultural population of Greek regions which pro-duced Raki (Tsipouro) which was the main drink distilled from grapes and from other fruit locally produced. Originally its taste was sour and anything else but inviting. In fact it was mainly used as medicine.

Ouzo its history.
In effort of producing better quality and
taste of the particular drink, a producer of
that time in Tirnavos of Thessaly, - a
region in which the economy was interwo-
ven with the cultivation of vineyards and
the silkworm – became possessor of a
Raki boiler as part of the dowry given to
him, a common occurrence of that period
in Tyrnavos. By using leading for that
period ingredients and methods, and by
adding various aromatic plants and
herbs, he managed to produce a new
high quality distillation. This new
product was Ouzo.
Reading the sources of the time, we
learn with great joy and emotion that
the person who worked hard and
first produced the drink that brings
together all the characteristic elements
of the Greek temperament, the sim-
plicity and the spontaneity of the
Greek people, the “National drink”
of Greece, was the forefather and
founder of our company, Katsaros
Nikolaos.

Today
The production of this true Greek drink, which identifies completely with the Greek soul, hospitality, sea and Greek way of life, is an art form which is as demanding as provocative. The art of dis-tillation hides within it agony and great expectations…
Ingredients
Alcohol – Ouzo Katsaros is produced from grape alcohol of superb quality.
Water – crystal clear, rich in mineral from the heart of the plains of Thessaly.
Aromatic seeds and herbs – the secret mixture of seeds and herbs, gives to every ouzo its individual taste and its character-istic aroma.
Its unique fine aroma and its rich natural taste flows from the “marriage” during the distillation of the 14 aromatic seeds and
herbs such as fennel, aniseed, asteroidal, cinnamon, nutmeg, (you will of course allow us not to mention them all) etc which are chosen with great care in par-ticular at the time of harvest.
The “pure” double distillation
During the first distillation we remove the “head” (which consists of a high alcoholic grade and aldehyde which gives a “rusty” taste) and the “tail” (which consists of many higher graded levels of alcohol which weighs down the taste and the aroma and are responsible for headaches). Keeping the “heart” of the distillation we carefully move on to the second distilla-tion process, using the exact same proce-dures so that the concluding distillation has a cleaner and finer aroma as well as a more mature taste.
The end product is then filtered and stored in the stainless steel tanks so that it can settle and
for it to become a more homogeneous product before it is bottled.
Ouzo straight or with ice accompanies mainly traditional cuisine, as an appetizer. The aroma of the seeds and herbs are released, the synthesis of the drink intensi-fies, the taste softens and the senses are delighted. Stin ygia sas! Cheers!

The ancestor of ouzo is the tsipouro. It is the distillation of the Raki (tsipoura) that is to say the grape skins which remain after crushing for the extraction of must which is where the name of drink Tsipouro is derived from.
The presence of tsipouro in the traditional etiquette and the way of life of today is essential, for get togethers, for welcoming, in hospitality and in celebra-tions and in time of festivities.
During the harvestWe methodically choose from 40,000,000 sq. meters of vineyards from the region of Tyrnavos, the best varieties of grapes. We then store the grapes skins, so that by blending them their saccharine transforms to alcohol. Then we place small quanties into traditional copper distillers.
IngredientsTsipouro Katsaros is produced mainly from the variety of grapes called “moschato” of which our area is renowned for.The secret blend of seeds and herbs, give each tsipouro its distinct taste and characteristic aroma. Its unique fine aroma and its rich natural taste flows from the “marriage” during the distillation aromatic seeds and herbs which are chosen with great care in particular at the time of harvest.
During the first distillation we remove the “head” (which consists of a high alcoholic grade and aldehyde which gives a “rusty” taste) and the “tail” (which con-sists of many higher graded levels of alcohol which weighs down the taste and the aroma and are responsible for headaches). Keeping the “heart” of the distillation we carefully move on to the second distillation pro-cess, using the exact same procedures so that the concluding distillation has a cleaner and finer aroma as well as a more mature taste. The end product is then filtered and stored in the stainless steel tanks so that it can settle and for it to become a more homogeneous prod-uct before it is bottled.
Challenging the sensesThe delicious drink and traditional cuisine and the frugal taste of olives, tomatoes, cheese and seafood but also that of meat and more complicated snacks all contribute in breaking the ice, creating fruitful conversations that lift your spirits and bring people closer together. Truly a custodian of traditions tempered in the social fibers colored by the sounds, aroma, taste and spontaneous smiles.
