Producer Story

Dimitris, an award-winning organic beekeeper, is the artisan behind this honey. His hives are strategically placed in the heart of Mount Olympus, allowing his bees to forage from its trees and rare herbs. Dimitris’ philosophy of letting honey remain as nature intended ensures that every jar reflects the purity and richness of this extraordinary environment. He is focused on quality above all else and spends a great deal of time seeking out the best places for his hives, where the honey may benefit from the unique terroir of the locality.

How to store your honey

To preserve the natural potency and unique qualities of this honey, store it in a cool, dark place. Exposure to light and heat can degrade the beneficial enzymes that contribute to its antibacterial activity. Keeping it away from light and high temperatures will help maintain its rich flavour, texture, and active properties, ensuring it remains as nature intended.

Why Raw Honey is Different from Processed Honey

Raw honey generally means the honey has not been processed, it has come from the hive to the jar with minimal interference. Most supermarket honey is highly processed to make it look more attractive, it has been drained of pollen, often heated and blended. Raw honey tends to vary from batch to batch, this is because it is not processed in a factory, filtered or heated to look homogeneous, it changes with the season and climate and what the bees feed on, we will update this fact sheet according to which batch we currently have in.

Crystallisation

Please know that raw honey does crystallise and is a natural process of raw honey (therefore we cannot accept returns on honey that may have crystallised). We indicate on the website the state of each honey - either runny or crystallised but be aware this is to the best of our knowledge and the state can change quickly. For more details on crystallisation, check our Runny Honey Guide or visit the section on honey crystallisation.
