Aroma

This honey exudes a warm, spiced fragrance with subtle woody notes, reminiscent of the pine forests from which it originates.

Flavour

Upon tasting, it delivers a rich, buttery sweetness that evolves into creamy caramel undertones.
Delicate hints of wild flowers, such as ivy, add complexity and depth to its profile.

Colour

In its runny state, the honey presents a dark amber hue.
Over time, as natural crystallisation occurs, it may transition to a creamy yellow shade, indicating its raw and unprocessed nature.

Origin

Sourced from the pristine island of Thasos in northern Greece, this honey benefits from the region's dense pine forests and rich botanical diversity. Thasos is renowned for producing some of the finest pine honey in the country, thanks to its ideal climate and abundant flora. Beekeepers on the island follow time-honoured methods, placing their hives deep within unspoiled forests where bees forage on honeydew from Aleppo pine trees and nectar from native wild flowers. The result is a uniquely complex and robust honey, reflecting both the biodiversity of the island and the artisanal care of its beekeepers.

Common Uses

• Drizzling over Greek yoghurt with fresh fruits and nuts
• Pairing with creamy cheeses like brie or camembert
• Sweetening herbal teas or warm lemon water
• Incorporating into salad dressings for a touch of sweetness
• Using as a natural sweetener in baking recipes
• Recipe Idea: Try a Greek-style roasted fig and goat cheese tart. Spread a layer of soft goat cheese on puff pastry, top with halved fresh figs, and drizzle generously with pine honey. Bake until golden and serve warm with a sprinkle of thyme—a perfect balance of sweet, savoury, and aromatic.

How to Store Your Honey

To preserve its natural potency and qualities, store the honey in a cool, dark place.
Light and heat degrade the enzymes that contribute to antibacterial activity.
Keeping it away from light and high temperatures helps maintain its flavour, texture, and active properties.

Why Raw Honey is Different from Processed Honey

Raw honey means it comes from the hive to the jar with minimal interference.
Most supermarket honey is processed to look attractive—drained of pollen, heated, and blended.
Raw honey varies from batch to batch because it is not factory-processed, filtered, or heated to be uniform.
It changes with the season, climate, and bee forage.
We update this fact sheet based on the current batch.

Crystallisation

Please note that raw honey crystallises naturally (therefore we cannot accept returns on crystallised honey).
We list each honey as runny or crystallised based on our best knowledge, though the state may change quickly.
For details, check our Runny Honey Guide or the Wikipedia section on honey crystallisation.
