Kontogiannis Family Organic Petimezi Grape Syrup: A Taste of Greek Tradition
A Taste of Greek Tradition
When it comes to natural sweeteners, few things rival the pure, unadulterated flavour of Petimezi, Greece’s beloved grape molasses. The Kontogiannis Family Organic Petimezi Grape Syrup captures this ancient tradition with a modern twist—produced from Mavroudi, Savvatiano*, and Roditis grapes, each bottle contains the essence of Greece’s rich gastronomic heritage.
Unlike processed syrups filled with additives and sugar, this organic grape syrup is a 100% natural sweetener. With its warm honey-like aroma and the unmistakable essence of fresh grapes, this Petimezi has an authenticity that’s hard to find.
The Great Taste Awards Judges praised its balance of sweetness and acidity, noting its distinct dried grape flavour and versatility. Beyond traditional uses, they even suggested it would make an excellent base for sparkling drinks or cocktails—an unexpected, yet delightful way to enjoy this classic syrup.
Even the bottle design tells a story. The hand-tied rope around the neck mimics the spiralling tendrils of a vine, while the red line represents the heat needed to transform the grape must into this thick, luxurious syrup. Each bottle is individually numbered, a testament to the careful craftsmanship behind each batch.
How to Use This Greek Treasure:
- Drizzle over pancakes, porridge, or cereals
- Stir into your coffee or tea as a natural sugar alternative
- Enhance your salads with a unique sweetness
- Caramelize meat or poultry for an extra layer of flavour
- Indulge by pouring it over ice cream or yogurt
This syrup is not just a product—it’s an invitation to experience Greek tradition in every drop, whether you’re cooking up a family meal or indulging in a sweet treat. Try it and bring a taste of Corinth into your kitchen!
