Moreover, all the raw materials are natural agricultural products and all the packaging materials are recyclable. In addition, the newly constructed Distillery is an important investment that contributes to the growth of the island end enhances local community.

Ouzo under pressure in Greek economic crisis
(30 May 2012) SCRIPT
An idyllic setting and an iconic drink.
But now the economic crisis in Greece is even hitting hard at the country's traditions -- like the ouzo industry.
The alcoholic spirit, which famously turns milky when mixed with water, is under fire at the consumption AND the production end. The company Ouzo of Plomari has the largest share of what appears to be a shrinking market in the country...
SOT
even with the drinks makers holding their line on costs, though, strapped customers are still cutting back their consumption
SOT
the dire situation is hitting farmers, too, who grow the anise that's used to give ouzo its distinctive taste. For them, and all Greeks, really, it's inconceivable that an industry so close to the country's heart could die.
Many involved say, however, that exports are the key for them now. They'll have to look abroad to help save this national spirit.

Bourgogne Wineblog et l'OUZO : mode d'emploi
Lors de mon récent voyage en Grèce, sur l'invitation de mon ami journaliste Ted LELEKAS, et ce à l'initiative du négociant TSANTALIS, j'ai eu l'immense privilège de découvrir la chaîne de fabrication de l'ouzo.
Cet apéritif traditionnel grec, à base d'alcool blanc, d'anis et de fenouil, est élaboré selon une recette plus que centenaire.
Panagiotis KYRIAKIDIS, le maître de chai de la maison et plus principalement attaché aux vins, me fait le guide de l'ouzo TSANTALIS et apporte réponse à l'ensemble de mes questions.
En plus de vous raconter l'histoire de l'ouzo, c'est aussi un chouette moment de vie que je tenais à partager avec vous.
Bon visionnage, elle est pas belle la vie ?
