Fir tree honey

Sourced from the pristine, high-altitude coniferous forests of Greece, this isn’t your average supermarket honey. In fact, it’s not even made from flower nectar. Fir tree honey is a rare honeydew honey, created when bees collect the sweet sap droplets left behind by the forest ecosystem on the bark of wild fir trees. Production depends entirely on perfect weather conditions during June and July. If the mountain summer is too wet or too dry, the bees can’t collect it. Some years, the yield is incredibly low, making every jar a true limited-edition luxury.

Description

Harvested during a fleeting window from early June to late July, this is a true midsummer mountain treasure. The result is a thick, luxurious, and deeply complex delicacy that tastes less like a candy shop and more like a warm afternoon walk through a sun-drenched alpine woods.

If you’re tired of honeys that are just “painfully sweet”, this masterful blend of woody undertones, warm malt, toasted caramel, and a subtle, refreshing hint of resin on the finish will be a revelation. Incredibly thick, velvety, and slow-pouring. Thanks to its low glucose content, it almost never crystallises, staying smooth and liquid in your pantry for years.

Our honey varieties are sealed by hand without the use of machines in the standardisation process. A piece of useful information for consumers is that unheated/unpasteurised honey crystallises at some point. Crystallisation is a natural process. If you want to restore the honey to a liquid form, use gentle heating (immerse the jar in warm water at a temperature of about 40°C for a few hours). Avoid microwaves.
