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 250g Strawberry Tree Honey is produced by bees foraging on the blossoms of the strawberry tree (*Arbutus unedo*), a wild Mediterranean shrub that blooms only once a year—in late autumn, when almost everything else has gone dormant. Due to this narrow, seasonal harvest window, strawberry tree honey is produced in limited quantities and is prized by honey lovers and food enthusiasts worldwide.

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—during a brief window that yields a small, prized harvest each year. Greek strawberry tree honey is therefore one of the world’s most sought-after limited-edition honeys, valued not only for its rarity but also for the truly extraordinary flavor profile it offers.

Our strawberry tree honey is raw, unfiltered, and as close to nature as honey can get. It has a distinctive dark amber to reddish-brown color, a rich, almost resinous aroma, and a thick, slow-flowing consistency that reflects its exceptional quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is strawberry tree honey?
Strawberry tree honey, also known as arbutus honey, is a rare, monofloral honey produced by bees foraging on the flowers of the strawberry tree (*Arbutus unedo*). Since the tree blooms only in late autumn, this honey is produced in very limited quantities each year and is highly prized for its unique, complex flavor.
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 color, and remarkable flavor make it a truly memorable gift for food lovers, honey enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates something truly extraordinary.
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, bittersweet character makes it better suited for bold, salty, or robust flavor combinations than for everyday sweet spreads.
Is this honey raw and unprocessed?
Yes. Our 250g strawberry tree honey is raw and minimally processed, ensuring that all natural flavors, enzymes, and antioxidants are preserved. No artificial additives, no preservatives, and no excessive heating.
