THE SOUL OF OUZO PLOMARI
Lisvori Anise
The distinctive identity of Ouzo of Plomari comes from its creator’s secret recipe and the art of distillation.
Traditional Process
Ouzo of Plomari is crafted through 100% distillation, carried out twice. Each distillation lasts nine full hours because, as they say in Plomari, “the slower the distillation, the finer the ouzo.”
The first distillation combines soft water, aromatic herbs and seeds.
The “heads” and “tails” are then removed, preserving only the “heart”, the purest part of the distillate.
The “heart” is distilled once more with different seeds and botanicals, creating aromatic balance and the signature smooth character of Ouzo of Plomari.
Every drop of Ouzo of Plomari carries the scent of the Aegean and the care of the people who craft it.
Isidoros Arvanitis’s secret recipe has remained unchanged for over a century guarded closely, known only to two people in the Plomari distillery.
Soft, crystal-clear water from the springs of the Sedountas River, known for its purity and freshness.
More than 15 aromatic herbs and seeds, carefully selected for their intensity and character.
Fennel from Evia, adding freshness and delicate aromas.
Chios mastiha oil, offering a subtle Greek touch.
Sea salt from the Kalloni salt flats of Lesvos, naturally enhancing the flavour of the spirit.
Lisvori anise, grown in the distillery’s own fields and considered among the finest in the world thanks to the unique microclimate and sea breeze of Lesvos.
