Ouzo Matarelli owes its specific taste and characteristic aroma to the fragrant anise from Lisvori on the island of Lesbos, which is used in the traditional distillation process.

Each bottle of ouzo bears the distinctive mark of Distillery Matarelli – a twig with anise leaves tied with a blue ribbon – a symbol of the harvest of anise along the sea coast. It is the result of the infinite patience of the farmers and an expression of their in-depth knowledge of the proper sowing and cultivation of anise.
