Sun, sky and sea
The Greek summer
and spirit of freedom travels to
small islands
drenched in the
colors of the
Aegean. Friends
gather at beaches
and the countryside, in gardens, courtyards and balconies.
The summer aromas of jasmine and honeysuckle mix with the sweet sound of
glasses colliding together. The senses surrender 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 traditional copper boiler of distillation which was discovered by the Arabic people 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 medical purposes.
From the Arabic
people the art of distillation passed to
the Byzantium and to the monks of monasteries.
Raki the ancestor of Ouzo.
From the above mentioned the secrets of
distillation
spread to the
agricultural
population of
Greek regions
which produced 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.
Art of Living
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 interwoven 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 simplicity 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 distillation 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 characteristic 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 particular 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 distillation process, 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
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 intensifies, the taste softens and the senses are
delighted. Stin ygia sas! Cheers!

Tsipouro... harmony
of the senses
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 celebrations and in time of festivities.
During the harvest
We 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.
Ingredients
Tsipouro 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 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 distillation process, 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 product before it is bottled.
Challenging the senses
The 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.
