PITSILADI OUZO

Authentic Plomari ouzo of unique quality from 100% distillate.

The locals at Lesbos strongly believe that the Plomari ouzo “Pitsiladis” (42% vol) is "the best ouzo on the island". It is a pleasant and aromatic spirit, exactly the way one would dream of the ideal ouzo.

The history of Pitsiladis family goes back to late 1800’s when they built their first distillery aside the river at Pergamos, Minor Asia. They produced ouzo systematically since 1892, when they obtained their first distilling licence.

At Lesbos, late 1928, Pitsiladis family started the production of brandy and liquors, together with ouzo. The company launches a new label at 1950, the one with yellow and red colours which they use until today. Since 1957 they produce only ouzo and brandy, until the mid 80’s. Brandy production is then abandoned and Pitsiladis family is since devoted to the ouzo production.

Until today the ouzo production is continued by the old-fashioned, from father-to-son way. By soaking anise and cereal grains in seawater, never using sugar to speed-up the distilling, they followin a secret family recipe.

The moto of the family during the last 120 years has always been “Quality is more important than quantity”.
