Storage advice

For optimal storage of Ouzo consider the following practical guidelines to preserve its quality and extend shelf life for both unopened and opened bottles:

- Temperature: Store Ouzo in a cool environment ideally between 5°C and 25°C. Temperatures above 25°C may cause loss of essential aromatic oils (such as anethole) and risk quality degradation while temperatures below 0°C may cause haze or crystal formation due to the precipitation of aromatic compounds.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light. Light exposure can induce spoilage and alter the aroma and appearance compromising the organoleptic properties.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed to minimize oxidation. Oxygen exposure after opening can degrade flavor and aroma so reseal the cap promptly after pour.

- Bottle Position: Store Ouzo bottles in an upright position. Unlike wine Ouzo’s spirits base means there is no need to keep the cork moist and upright storage prevents leakage.

- Humidity: Normal ambient humidity is sufficient; no special humidity control is necessary. Just avoid storing near substances with strong odors that could be absorbed by the bottle or seal.

- Additional Tips: Avoid rapid temperature fluctuations which could negatively impact the flavor profile and cause physical changes in the beverage. After opening refrigeration may help retain flavor longer especially if the bottle will not be consumed quickly.
