General Information
Ouzo 7 1L is a classic Greek distillate known for its strong anise aroma and flavor. This drink is prepared using traditional methods, involving a mixture of herbs and spices, including anise, sourced from local farmers. The distillation takes place in copper stills, carefully monitored to ensure the perfect taste and quality. Ouzo 7 is named after the lucky number 7, which also symbolizes the frequency with which the product is distilled to achieve the richest flavor.
Taste Profile
Ouzo 7 1L has a clear, crystalline appearance that demonstrates its purity. The explosion of anise flavor is accompanied by subtle hints of other herbs, making it complex and rich both in aroma and on the palate. When mixed with water, ouzo becomes cloudy—a well-known phenomenon called the ‘ouzo effect’—which makes the essential oils visible.
Serving Advice
Ouzo 7 is best enjoyed as an aperitif, chilled and mixed with a little water. This helps release the aromas and makes the drinking experience more pleasant.
- Pair with seafood or a selection of Greek mezze for an authentic experience.
- Serve in a narrow glass to concentrate the aromas.
- Try it with ice and a splash of lemon.
Fun Fact
Ouzo has a protected geographical indication in Greece, meaning that only drinks distilled in Greece and meeting strict production standards can be called ‘ouzo.’ This ensures the preservation of quality and traditional methods that have been used for generations.
