Petrovski Family Spirits Co. Ltd.About us
Born and raised on the rolling, sunny hills of Macedonia and transplanted to the open vastness of Canada’s Great Lakes, the Petrovski Family intends to keep alive centuries-old traditions of artful enjoyment in an ever-changing world.
Our mission is the production of authentic Macedonian rakija made from the highest quality grapes, grown in their ideal climate—Macedonia—as well as a variety of fruit brandies made of the highest quality fruit, using state-of-the-art equipment, based on centuries-old tradition and mastery that is passed down from generation to generation.
The branding of our company, using our family name, is our guarantee of ongoing quality, consistency, and service. The branding of our products as Makedonska Rakijа evokes the timeless land of Macedonia. Her storied history, her culture of diverse, yet inevitably contagious song and dance, and her equally diverse and memorable delicious cuisine, fine wines and spirits.
Petrovski Family Spirits Co. Ltd.Key Ingredients
Macedonian Wine
The raw ingredient is the most important component to the taste and quality of any rakija. This is why we import premium quality wine and grape juice from one of the best grape growing regions in the world—Macedonia—as the base for our Lozova Rakija. While typically rakija is produced from pumice and bottom of the barrel wine and sediment, we make ours exclusively from premium quality wine.
Tradition
Tradition is the best guide in life. At the same time, wine has been a part of the Macedonian way of life since before written history, while rakija was introduced sometime in the Middle Ages when distillation was discovered. We, Macedonians, sing about them in our songs; we tell stories about them and with them. Macedonians get introduced to wine and rakija early in their lives and develop the sense for what is good and bad in a rakija. Knowledge is discussed and passed on from person to person and generation to generation and a tradition is formed and fortified. And a part of that tradition includes innovation: A form of column distillation with clay stills has been around in Macedonia for centuries.
Personal Integrity
We produce and sell only the products that we would put on our own table. We believe that everyone deserves to enjoy the highest quality spirits at an affordable price.
