Grape Syrup (Petimezi)

Natural grape syrup is a wholesome sweetener with rich caramel notes and valuable nutrients.

Known in Greece as Petimezi, this syrup is made by slowly boiling grapes until all the water evaporates, leaving only the grapes’ natural sweetness. The result is a dark, caramel-like syrup that is rich in minerals and iron, and serves as an excellent alternative to refined sugar.

Greek grandmothers have used petimezi for generations to bake cookies for their grandchildren, avoiding the use of sugar at an early age.

It has a wonderfully deep flavor and can be drizzled over yogurt, vanilla ice cream, used to caramelize grilled dishes, added to salad dressings, or used as a natural sweetener in everyday cooking.
