Lazaris Distillery & Artisan Sweets
The story of the Corfu distillery Lazaris Distillery & Artisan Sweets dates back to 1924. It was then that the famed kumquat, the tiny citrus fruit with its wonderful aroma, began to grow on the island of Corfu.
For eleven years Constantine Lazaris and his team have been passionately pursuing the island's culinary tradition with the aim of introducing the modern, global consumer to the authentic tastes of another era.
Following the local recipe they produce the traditional Corfu drink, the kumquat liqueur. At the same time they are inspired by the other agricultural products of the island and make handmade pastries reviving the flavors and aromas of the past.
