In the last post we've talked about some Raki produced by two Customers of our company.
But what is Raki ? Raki is the most popular alcoholic spirit produced in Turkey , in some way is the "national spirit" of this Country , as well as Grappa is for Italy, or Cognac is for France .
Raki is produced starting from dry grapes. The fermented mash of dry grapes is then distilled, producing an alcohol named "Suma" that is the basis for the preparation of Raki. Suma is than redistilled in traditionals copper alambics, with a special design realised for this kind of production. Then aniseeds is added for giving to this spirit a particular flavour .
Raki can be also produced using fresh grapes, instead of dry grapes. Although dry grapes is the most traditional and ancient way of preparing Raki, now fresh grapes are becoming very appreciated, especially bu young people.
Moreover Raki can be prepared using 100% Suma or blending the Suma with a percentage up to 35% of Extra Neutral Alcohol , coming from other feedstocks.
