description Ouzo Plomari Overview

Ouzo Plomari is a traditional Greek anise-flavored aperitif produced by the Barbayannis distillery on the island of Lesbos. The company utilizes a recipe that dates back to the family's early ouzo production in 1860. The spirit is manufactured using a double-distillation process in copper stills, combining anise seeds, fennel, and other aromatic herbs with high-quality alcohol. It is typically consumed as an aperitif, served neat or diluted with water to create a characteristic milky-white emulsion.
