What it is
The pomace fire: zivania — Cyprus's clear pomace brandy (45%+), distilled from Xynisteri and Mavro pomace after wine and Commandaria making, drunk ice-cold with meze in mountain villages. Origins: zivania (from zivana, pomace) is the Cypriot cousin of tsipouro and grappa, village-distilled for centuries. Made from: grape pomace, pot-distilled, nothing added. How it's made: 1) Ferment the pomace. 2) Distil in the kazani. 3) Serve straight from the freezer. Served: with lountza (smoked pork), haloumi and olives; also folk-used as a rub for aches (the village pharmacy joke). Flavor: grape fire, clean and hot. Strength: 45-49%. Culture: zivania is the mountain village's welcome — the bottle lives in the freezer year-round. See also: Commandaria.
