“Petimezi & Rodi”, Non-Heat Processed Organic Grape Juice Syrup & Pomegranate Juice – “Karagelis”

From Tradition to Innovation…

“Petimezi” is the Greek word (originating from the Turkish “pekmez” that substituted the ancient “epsima”) for the concentrated grape juice syrup or grape molasses. The word is also used in Greece to describe something that is very sweet. “Petimezi” is one of the traditionally used sweeteners in Greek cuisine, alongside with honey & carob syrup, before the cane sugar appearance.

Karagelis’ “Petimezi” is made from 100% organic grapes from Mount Pylia in Peloponnesus & without heat treatment. The traditional heat condensation is substituted by one carried under vacuum & low temperatures. Due to that, it has a lighter colour, meaning that the product is not “burned”, thus maintaining the utmost of grape nutrients & aromas! Here it is combined with 1/3 natural concentrated pomegranate juice.

“Petimezi” is a natural source of fiber, iron, vitamins & antioxidants. It is also a source of resveratrol, the compound known as the “elixir of youth”.  It can be used in shots as an instant energy booster or as a healthy & natural sweetener. It has also great use in cooking for marinating meat or salad dressings.
