In 1950, Panagiotis Vantanas created the ultimate tentoura recipe, to satisfy even the most demanding palates. Using ethyl alcohol of agricultural origin, he made an extract consisting mainly of cinnamon and clove, as well as other spices, herbs and citrus fruit, adding his very own, secret touches.
He enhanced this extract with aged Mavrodaphne of Patras, a sweet red wine. This extract is left to mature in oak barrels and stainless containers, to acquire a more complex character and identity.
This very recipe of Panagiotis Vantanas is used to this day by his grandsons, Georgios and Panagiotis Tzoudas.
