Dinapoja
Dinapoya cottage industry started as a hobby. Friends and neighbors offered fruit from their gardens. Myrtles grow in the ravines and the mountains of the area provide a generous supply of aromatic herbs. This abundance of material was offered for processing. The ambition was quickly born, to prepare products, which do not exist in the market until now.
The production of the liqueur
The philosophy in the production of liqueurs is based on the exploitation of the fruit of the fruit and not on the use of aroma. The raw materials are combined and create new, original compositions.
Only organic, unprocessed fruits and herbs are used, without fragrances, additives and preservatives.
The herbs and fruits are collected one by one from the mountains of Asterousia and the surrounding villages of the area. They are cleaned, washed and then placed together with tsikoudia (distilled grapes) in stainless steel tanks. The fruits remain in the tsikoudia for several weeks, the alcohol takes on the substances, color and aroma of the raw material. This is followed by the addition of the syrup to make the composition of the liqueur. A natural liqueur should not be overly sweet, because the sugar covers the rich aroma of the fruits. The liqueur remains again for a sufficient period of time in stainless steel tanks, for the aromas and flavors to bind. After being filtered, the liqueur is bottled.
A slight turbidity in this natural product has natural causes and is a quality feature of natural production.
The production of syrup & sugar
Natural syrups and flavored sugar are prepared in a traditional and handmade way.
It is a combination of old traditional recipes and recipes from other cultures with personal creativity.
