Grape Syrup from Oleosophia is made from grape must and called petimezi in Greek, and is a healthy sugar substitute and natural sweetener. Distilled from pure Corinthian grape juice, petimezi retains precious reservatrol, the naturally-occurring powerful antioxident found in grapes & wine. In ancient times, this grape syrup was used to strengthen the immune system and treat anemia and it's no wonder why - petimezi is rich in antioxidants like reservatrol, vitamins A, C, & D, and trace minerals like potassium, magnesium, calcium & iron. Similar to molasses in consistency, Oleosophia's Grape Syrup has a fragrant aroma and rich flavor, with an acerbic aftertaste that makes it a great sugar alternative in both sweet and savory dishes. Try it in salad dressings, to glaze meats and as a yogurt & ice cream topping.
We chose Oleosophia because of the family's commitment to stay with the cultivation of the unique Manaki olive and not give in to a mass-production business model. We especially appreciate Marianna Devetzoglou's passion for helping people understand the power & complexity of Greek olive oil, which is so often underestimated.
