Winter Solstice Forest and Fir Tree Honey Set

Imagine this honey trio as a winter forest symphony—three distinct notes that harmonise into one set, each reflecting the essence of nature and winter solstice met in the forest. They evoke the winter forest: the strength of evergreens, the beauty of forest hidden blossoms, and the warmth of golden sunlight.

Together, they make Forest harmony: Fir Honeydew Honey anchors with depth, Forest Flower Honey lifts with floral brightness, and Honey with Sea Buckthorn radiates tangy energy.

Greek Organic Raw Fir Honey: comes from the Mountain range Agrafa. It is made when bees harvest honeydew from fir needles and the bark of trees. Honeydew honey is superior to flower honey due to its high mineral and amino acid content and antimicrobial activity.

• • Flavour: The low sugar concentration contributes to its mild sweetness, while its aroma travels to the fir-covered mountain peaks of the areas where it is produced. Depending on the aphid species producing the honeydew, it can taste strongly resinous (like pine sap) or malty, with a depth similar to dark syrups. 
  • Texture: very dense and viscous, often silky and smooth, runny, thick and spreadable.
  • Colour: from dark reddish-brown to nearly black, sometimes with a greenish tint.
  • Weight: 450g glass jar.
  • Honey Facts & Benefits: Organic Raw Greek Fir Honey is rich in polyphenols, phenolic acids, and trace elements such as potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, and iron. It has significant antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activity and has been used for centuries to treat sore throats and coughs, minor burns, cuts, and other bacterial infections. It has a low glucose content, so it offers advantages in glycemic control. Honeydews are high in oligosaccharides, which are known for their prebiotic qualities - aiding digestion.
  • Uses: perfect and much healthier alternative to table sugar and is great for everyday use. It's particularly nice when taken with black tea or herbal teas, especially during the winter holidays. Adds complexity to spiced cakes and nut pastries. Works well drizzled over dark rye bread.

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.
• Crystallisation: raw honey crystallises 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 colour and structure (crystallisation) 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 crystallised 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
• 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 crystallisation.
