HISTORY "FROM GOLD" BEHIND THE PRODUCT

In Ancient Greece they drank "crumbs"! From the Hellenistic times we read that the Ancient Greeks had discovered the magical drink that comes out if the grapes are boiled. They added aromatics and so it looked even more like today's tsipouro!

During the Turkish occupation, the women of the harem enjoyed with great pleasure the tsipouro that did not look like wine at all, so it was not forbidden by the Qur'an!

  On the other hand, the monks of Mount Athos never stopped from the 14th century, to choose the marcs from their metochia to produce their tsipouro. They gladly offered it along with Turkish delights and coffee to their guests. Even when, in the summer of 1941, a German, "scientific" team visited Mount Athos. The photographs Documents of the time, present this peculiar group of monks and conquerors to drink the "Holy water"!

The only sure thing is that from ancient times until today, tsipouro has remained constant both in its continuous production and in the collective unconscious as the "water" that unites companies with their misery and joys.
