Small-producer juices and Greek infusions

Juice pressed from whole fruit rather than concentrate keeps the aroma of the fruit, which is why it varies noticeably with the harvest and the region. Mandarins in Thesprotia are picked from November to January, while aronia is harvested in August and gives a deep colour and a sharp, tannic taste. Greek infusions are led by mountain tea, sage and chamomile, left briefly in just-boiled water and drunk plain. Once opened, fresh juice belongs in the fridge and is best drunk within a few days.
