Ingredients

ORGANIC

ANISE

Organic anise is the heart of Ouzo Matarelli and the key ingredient behind its signature aroma and distinctive flavor. Ours is organically grown with care in our fields in Lisvori, Lesvos, with a deep respect for sustainability and the rhythms of the land.

Every anise seed that goes into our ouzo is free from chemical fertilizers and pesticides. That’s how we ensure the exceptional quality of our ouzo, while also doing our part to protect the environment and biodiversity.

From sowing to harvest, the entire process follows traditional methods, handed down from generation to generation. The anise is sun-dried naturally and delivered in all its fresh, aromatic glory, ready to give our ouzo the purest taste of pleasure.

It’s this commitment to quality and organic cultivation that makes Ouzo Matarelli truly special. Every sip is a journey through past and present, an experience that blends tradition, progress, flavor, and a deep love of the land. Because at the end of the day, what really matters is being unique. And our organic anise is the most unique gift the Greek land has to offer.

HONEY

FROM LESVOS

For our honey from Lesvos which is chosen for its purity, and because it reminds us of summer.

The honey we use in Ouzo Matarelli isn’t just another ingredient. It’s a statement of quality and a commitment to natural flavor. Sourced from Lesvos, this honey brings with it the clarity of the island’s untouched nature, the fragrance of blooming pastures, and that true, golden sweetness only bees can create.

We chose honey because we wanted something pure, natural, and perfectly aligned with our philosophy. It gives Ouzo Matarelli a soft, balanced finish that enhances the anise and the rest of our aromatic notes.

The result? An ouzo that stands out, not just for its aroma and flavor, but for the story it carries. Every drop is a reminder that when nature and tradition come together, the result can be modern in the most impressive way.

MORE THAN

10 HERBS

& SPICES

We use over 10 herbs and spices in our recipe and we won’t reveal it. Not even under torture.

All we can reveal is that it includes more than 10 herbs and spices, carefully selected to complement and elevate the true star of the blend: the anise. Each ingredient adds a subtle layer of flavor, wrapping around the anise’s distinct aroma to create a harmonious composition that awakens the senses.

Our herbs and spices are sourced mainly from the rich Greek land—renowned for its biodiversity and the exceptional quality of its aromatic plants. From mountain slopes to coastal fields, the raw materials are gathered with care and respect, preserving their freshness and authenticity.

Every sip of Ouzo Matarelli is a result of balance. The sweet and earthy notes of the spices meet the freshness of the herbs, all coming together to highlight the purity, depth, and complexity of our anise.
