MAVRO TSIPOURO
Mavro Tsipouro is the culmination of Greek traditional knowledge paired with modern distillation techniques. The result is a spirit that dramatically enhances the flavour profile of the traditional distillate and elevates it to a level equivalent to international spirits of distinction. Mavro Tsipouro is produced exclusively from the juice of grapes grown in British Columbia. Well ripened grapes of aromatic varieties are pressed. The resulting juice is then fermented and distilled in combination with multiple distillations to produce a Tsipouro with a high aromatic profile, a full body and a soft finish. The resulting product is of a quality unlike any other. Mavro Tsipouro is a traditional accompaniment to appetizers and Greek mezethes, such as fried fish, calamari, homous, and many others. Enjoy it chilled from the freezer, neat or with water and ice to taste.
Tsipouro History
The secrets of distillation were perfected by the monks of Mount Athos in the region of Meteora in Thessalia, Greece. Until the 15th century, the art of distillation of Tsipouro expanded to surrounding areas. In Epirus, Macedonia, the rest of Thessaly, and Crete as well as in many other parts of Greece. For centuries, it was the secondary product of viticulture and domestic wine production. Tsipouro was originally produced amateurly by villagers as a way of reclaiming grape pomace, which would otherwise be discarded.
Tsipouro has always been related to the life of the middle-class Greek people.
Tsipouro is present in everyday moments of life, in joys and sorrows and it is a hallmark of Greek hospitality.
Thessalia is the fatherland of Tsipouro with a long historical tradition, it is the largest Tsipouro producing region in the country. Modern day distillation practices have resulted in a huge shift for the qualitative evolution of Tsipouro. The culture of distillation has resulted in the flourishing of Tsipouro’s popularity.
