The red Ouzo of Mytilene "Samaras" (42% vol) is distilled in 1000-lt copper pot stills where carefully selected ingredients, like star anise from Lisvori, barley, water from the Gera region, alcohol of agricultural origin, Chios mastiha, onions and salt, are boiled for at least 9 and a half hours. Only the best 2/3 of the production is kept and then, clear processed water is added to the “heart” of the distillate, accompanied by genuine, pure honey from Limnos. The final result is a superior quality ouzo, 100% distilled.
Enjoyed best with grilled shrimps and octopus, “ladotyri” cheese from Mytilene.
This ouzo loves as well the oriental kitchen “mezedes”.
It was back in 1896 when Efstratios Samaras relocated his distillery from Proussa in Minor Asia to Papados of Gera in Lesbos island. Since then, perfumes and sensations flooded the island. Profound master of the art of distilling, Samaras produced a unique quality ouzo, that soon gained loyal friends.
Today, the fourth generation of distillers, with respect to the family tradition and loyalty to the principal values of the founder, is still producing the famous Ouzo of Mytilene “Samaras”.
