VOLKAN SANTORINI BEER SPEAKS ENGLISH TOO

·         Volkan is the first beer born in Santorini. It brings you the inspiration and uniqueness of Santorinian rare flavours. Our company seat is in Fira, Santorini. Volkan’s owner is Peter Nomikos, a fifth-generation descendant of Santorinian vintners. Peter is a business executive, venture capitalist and founder of Greece Debt Free Inc., a non-profit organisation formed to help reduce Greek debt to sustainable levels.

·         Our two key ingredients are Santorinian, Santorini Rare Honey and the Volkan Lavarock™ Filter. We also use Citrus Medica from nearby Naxos Island. 

·         Rare Santorini Honey is because of the very short flowering season. Santorini Rare Honey is harvested only once a year; this honey is extremely rare even on Santorini: in August and early September, without any flowers left, bees visit the hundreds of tons of grapes spread out in the sun to mature, as part of the traditional method of making Vinsanto, the local dessert wine. Santorini Rare Honey is added near the end of the Volkan brewing process, to ensure its source flavours are preserved, giving our beer a fine, delicate touch of sweetness.

·         Naxos Citrus medica, commonly known as citron, is a rare, fragrant citrus fruit introduced to Europe by Alexander the Great and celebrated since Babylonian times for its medicinal powers. Today, citron essences are harvested and processed for Volkan by Naxos artisans using methods dating back several centuries. This unique essence is added to Volkan brews during and after the brewing process, resulting in an incomparable taste: dry, sharp, earthy and sweet.

·         Volkan Lavarock™ Filter; It is a proprietary technology Volkan developed for conditioning the brewing water. It re-creates how Santorini’s groundwater may have tasted thousands of years ago. The Lavarock™ Filter uses real volcanic rocks (basalt) formed from the Santorini eruption of 1500 BCE, rich with potassium and other minerals, to lay the foundation for a complex, flavourful brew.

·         Currently, Volkan is available in 4 types, the Volkan Blonde Pilsner the Volkan Black Wheat Lager & the Volkan Santorini White.   We have been recently launched at an experimental stage the Volkan Santorini Grey. It is an unfiltered wheat beer, which has been underway for several months. It's light, refreshing beer low in acidity, with characteristic aromas of bergamot orange and honey which is also present to our other 3 beers.

·         In 2013, Volkan has been awarded as the “New Product Innovation of the Year” at the “International Beer Awards 2013” while its labels voted amongst t the Top 5 in the world.

·         At present, Volkan is successfully exported to 15 countries, but we intend to gradually increase our exports once Volkan beers wherever presented really make great success, in both Greek and international consumers.
