What Does it Taste Like?

Raw Greek Forest Honey has a strong depth of flavour, robust taste much like Oak Honey with hints of woodsy and pine flavours, and a slightly caramel aftertaste, but what makes it special is the complex flavour from the herbs that grow on Mount Belles in Serres – a combination of flowers and trees, such as chestnuts, oaks, flowers, and wild herbs.

Honey Facts & Benefits

Organic Greek Raw Forest Honey is honeydew honey since it is produced by bees that collect nectar from honeydew excreted by plant-sucking insects called Marchalina hellenica.

This is an outstanding high-quality honey from the forests on the slopes of Mount Belles in Serres. The honey is cold extracted, unfiltered, unpasteurized, and unprocessed. Sustainably extracted by centrifugal force method and with absolutely zero heating process – which is why it sustains all its beneficial nutritional elements.

Honeydew honey is superior to flower honey due to its high mineral and amino acid content and antimicrobial activity and has a sweeter fragrance compared to the usual flower honey.

Honeydews are high in oligosaccharides, which are known for their prebiotic qualities, aiding digestion and promoting gut health.

Greek Forest Honey is rare honey with a thick texture, which offers all the necessary elements to strengthen the body. Greek Forest Honey crystallizes slowly, due to its low glucose content, and this pure honey can remain liquid for a long time, more than a year and a half.

Common Uses

Organic Raw Forest Honey is one of those honey that makes a perfect and much healthier alternative to table sugar and is great for everyday use. It's particularly nice when taken with black tea or coffee. Forest honey is great when it's spread across toast, pancakes, hot scones, cereal, porridge, or added to pep-up fruity dessert dishes or yogurt.

Notes & Tips:

• Storage: honey should be stored away from direct sunlight in a dry place at room temperature or below. Always ensure the lid is secured tightly.
• Crystallization: raw honey crystallizes over time, and it is a natural process. Honey thickens and changes its state - it hardens and becomes grainy. Different types of honey crystallize differently. Some types of honey become very grainy and form larger crystals. Changes in color and structure (crystallization) are signs of raw, unpasteurized, and unprocessed honey.
• Consistency: if you prefer softer, more liquid honey, you can gently warm it by putting the jar in hot water. Warming will liquefy the crystallized honey. Avoid exposing honey to temperatures over 45°C, because higher temperatures may destroy part of the natural nutrients. Please make sure the jar is closed correctly to ensure no water contaminates the honey.
• Colour changes: please know that raw honey can vary in colour and taste from batch to batch - honey changes with the season and climate and depending on what the bees feed on.
• Packaging: our honey is available in recyclable glass jars and plastic containers of various sizes. The plastic containers are made of BPA-free high-quality shatterproof plastic.
• Safety Information: honey is inappropriate for children under the age of one year.
• Product photos and videos are representative. Honey colour and texture may vary depending on the season and level of crystallization.
