YES, WE’VE GOT A LOT TO TALK ABOUT, BUT ONLY IF YOU’RE OVER 18.
WHEN’S YOUR BIRTHDAY?
Lesvos is the birthplace of ouzo, where tradition, meraki, and the art of distillation came together to create Greece’s most iconic spirit. Here, flavors and aromas carry stories of their own, as every inch of land, every olive tree,and every anise field holds centuries of knowledge and tradition.
Lesvos is famous not only for its ouzo but for the small everyday miracles that unfold in its fields and villages. From the charming kafeneia of Mytilene to the village festivals, ouzo flows, and life is celebrated. Ask any local (or even not-so-local), and they’ll confirm that ouzo isn’t just a spirit. It’s a way of life.
Lisvori, a small village on the island of Lesvos, is known as the place where the finest anise in the world is grown. And that’s no coincidence. Its soil, rich in volcanic minerals, and the island’s mild climate create the ideal conditions for cultivating this extraordinary plant.
Here, each anise seed grows in rhythm with nature and under the care of people who have mastered the art of cultivation over generations. The result is anise with bold aroma, pure clarity, and a distinct flavor that’s hard to find anywhere else.
This small corner of Lesvos -Lisvori- is the very soul of Ouzo Matarelli. It’s the place that ensures every drop of our ouzo is filled with authenticity and excellence.
Lesvos and Lisvori are more than just the origins of Ouzo Matarelli. They are our inspiration, our identity, and the foundation of the flavor that reaches your glass, because the land that gives life to the finest anise is the same land that gives spirit to Ouzo Matarelli.
