A very pure triple-distilled raki made by distilling grape alcohol with aniseed. Efe Raki brought together the experts to produce the taste that defines Raki by an authentic recipe. Selected top-quality grapes and anis seeds of the Aegean coast gives Efe Raki its distinct taste and unmistakable aroma every time. Triple-distilled grape alcohol is redistilled in pot stills to offer the quality that is appreciated by even the most discriminating Raki drinkers
You may enjoy Efe Raki straight or by first adding water then ice as a tall drink.
Efe Raki is the first privately produced Raki in Turkey. Raki production had been in a government monopoly from 1931 until June 2003, when a new regulation came into force. With this change, a company named ELDA built a factory from bare ground, in 20,000 m2 of land, to produce Efe Raki. The fully automated factory was built in 12 months with the latest technology and the best equipment from Italy. The initial capacity was set at 5,000,000 liters but expandable to 15,000,000 liters annually.
Ouzo and Arak are traditionally served with a small plate of a variety of appetizers called mezes, usually small fresh fish, fries, olives and feta cheese. Ouzo can be described to have a similar taste to absinthe which is liquorice-like, but smoother.
