It is a traditional drink for the people of Crete. From the old times is considered to be a good drink for the health. In southern Crete, practical health aiders of the last century used it for the first bath of newborns. This is how the 40 Aromas of the Earth were received. Contains 40 aromatic medicinal herbs such as Dictamus, Salmon, Thyme, Sage, Plum, Basil, Blackberries, Roses and more.
Its components are preserved intact over time and this is why “Sarantavotano” has become a song that has been passed on to Cretan folklore, resulting in its transmission from generation to generation.
