Strawberry Tree Honey 250g — Rare Greek Arbutus Honey

Strawberry tree honey is genuinely rare and for those who discover it, it tends to become an obsession.
Our Strawberry Tree Honey 250g is produced by bees that forage on the blossoms of Arbutus unedo the strawberry tree a wild Mediterranean shrub that flowers only once a year, in late autumn when almost everything else has gone dormant. Because of this narrow, seasonal harvest window, strawberry tree honey is produced in limited quantities and is prized by honey lovers and food enthusiasts the world over.

Its flavour is unlike any honey you've tasted before: initially bitter-sweet, it gives way to a warming, slightly tannic depth with earthy, herbal undertones and a long, complex finish. This is not a background honey. It is a honey that demands your full attention.

Rare by Nature, Exceptional by Character
The strawberry tree blooms exclusively in late autumn typically between October and December in a brief window that produces a small, precious harvest each year. Greek arbutus honey is therefore one of the most sought-after and limited-edition honeys in the world, valued not just for its scarcity but for the genuinely extraordinary flavour profile it delivers.

Our Strawberry Tree Honey is raw, unfiltered, and as close to nature as honey can be. It has a distinctive dark amber to reddish-brown colour, a rich, almost resinous aroma, and a thick, slow-flowing texture that reflects its exceptional quality

Frequently Asked Question

What is strawberry tree honey?
Strawberry tree honey also known as arbutus honey is a rare, monofloral honey produced by bees that forage on the blossoms of Arbutus unedo, the strawberry tree. Because the tree flowers only in late autumn, this honey is produced in very limited quantities each year and is highly prized for its unique, complex flavour.
Why does strawberry tree honey taste bitter?
The characteristic bitterness of arbutus honey comes from the natural compounds found in the Arbutus unedo blossom, including arbutin and other phenolic compounds. Far from being a flaw, this bitterness is considered a mark of authenticity and quality and it is precisely what gives strawberry tree honey its extraordinary, complex flavour profile.
Is this honey suitable as a gift?
Absolutely. Strawberry tree honey is one of the most distinctive and thoughtful food gifts you can give. Its rarity, beautiful dark colour, and remarkable flavour make it a genuinely memorable present for food lovers, honey enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates something truly out of the ordinary.
How should I use strawberry tree honey?
Strawberry tree honey is wonderful on artisan bread and strong cheeses, paired with dark chocolate or walnuts, stirred into espresso or herbal tea, or drizzled over blue cheese and charcuterie. Its complex, bitter-sweet character makes it more suited to bold, savoury, or robust flavour pairings than to everyday sweet spreads.
Is this honey raw and unprocessed?
Yes. Our Strawberry Tree Honey 250g is raw and minimally processed, ensuring that the full natural flavour compounds, enzymes, and antioxidants are preserved. No artificial additives, no preservatives, and no excessive heating.
