Origins: The nectar for this exquisite honey is collected by bees from the Calabrian pine trees that thrive on Thasos. These majestic evergreens, part of the conifer family, can reach heights of up to 80 metres and often live for centuries, with one specimen even surpassing 4900 years. The island's unique microclimate and rich biodiversity contribute to the unparalleled quality and flavour of this Pine Honey.

Flavour Profile: From the moment you open the jar, you'll be captivated by the bold, sweet pine aroma, complemented by warm, spicy undertones reminiscent of cloves and other winter spices. As you taste the honey, its exceptionally thick, luxurious texture coats your palate, revealing a complex flavour profile dominated by dark, dried fruits and a pronounced cooked fig essence. The sweetness lingers, creating a prolonged, satisfying finish that distinguishes this Pine Honey from all others.

Their artisanal approach to beekeeping ensures that only the finest honey is produced, while prioritising the well-being and happiness of their bees.

Common Uses: Pine honey is particularly good to use in Greek yoghurts, breads and ice cream, but perhaps best is to simply enjoy this delicious prized honey on its own.

Please know that raw honey does crystallise and this is a natural process that occurs mainly due to the natural glucose in raw honey. For more information on why honey sets visit this article and for a more scientific explanation go to wikipedia.
