Since ancient times, the residents of the island of Amorgos and the Small Cyclades have been preparing a traditional homemade drink to welcome their guests. Inspired by this drink, the “Amorgos” beverage company was founded in 2003.
By adding honey and eight native herbs, Rakomelo Amorgion (25% ABV) and Psimeni Amorgion (20% ABV) were officially created. Before starting production, the company patented the recipe with the Organization of Industrial Property and registered the names “Rakomelo” and “Amorgion Rakomelo”. Brewed from grapes (raki), sugar, honey, and herbs, with no preservatives, these exquisite drinks stand out for their unique composition.
In 2007, based on the successful formula of “Amorgion”, the company launched four new drinks: Mastichato (Rakomelo with Mastic), Lemontelo (Rakomelo with lemon), Portomelo (Rakomelo with orange), and – the inspired by the ancient Greeks – Melikraton (Oinomelo). Continuing the expansion of their product range, in 2012, two new distillates were born. On Amorgos, the cactus fruit called prickly pear was brought from Mexico by Spanish sailors around 1500s. From this fruit, the drink Mekila, inspired by Mexican tequila, and Fragosykomelo, a prickly pear liqueur, have since developed their own presence in the international markets.
A well-balanced drink experience
Made with pure traditional ingredients and free from preservatives, all drinks by the “Amorgos” beverage company offer a well-balanced flavor. To keep offering top quality products, in 2013, the company opened a second factory for distillation, winemaking, pastry, and the packaging of oils, honey, and herbs.
Since 2014, they have been producing dry white wine, dry red wine, and naturally sweet red wine made from sun-dried grapes. They also produce ouzo, tsipouro, and tsikoudia, many of which have won awards for quality and unique taste in international competitions. Additionally, they make traditional Amorgian-style pasteli (sesame bars) and loukoumia flavored with their beverages. All products are made with great love and care and bring joy to everyone who tries them.
