I like trying new ingredients and I thought I should experiment with this one even though I had never tried a petimezi before. I loved it and I now use it a lot in salads instead of vinegar – it’s so yummy in a simple lettuce salad with olive oil and oregano. It’s also great for marinating meats. It’s a pretty unique ingredient, sweet with a bitter undertone, which makes it a great addition to both sweet and savory recipes, a very flexible ingredient. My Greek friends tell me Ariadne’s petimezi is as good as it gets.

Bought this grape syrup to use as an alternative to honey, maple syrup and agave syrup and found it made a great sweetener for cereals and cut-up fresh berries. Also good as a topping for plain yogurt and even ice cream. I’m very pleased, it’s a five star product that I’m recommending to everyone.
