Our Pine Honey is a premium honeydew honey produced by bees in the ancient pine forests of Greece. Unlike conventional flower honeys, pine honey is not made from flower nectar. Instead, bees collect the rich secretions of an insect called Marchalina hellenica, which lives on the bark of Greek pine trees. The result is a honey like no other: dark, complex, low in sweetness, and exceptionally rich in minerals.
\nIt is widely considered one of Greece's finest wild honeys and once you've tasted it, you'll understand why it has been celebrated for generations.
\nPine honey defies expectations. Its colour ranges from amber to deep mahogany. Its flavour is rich and resinous, with earthy, woody undertones and a subtle, almost caramel-like sweetness that is far less pronounced than floral honeys. It has a thick, silky texture and a mineral depth that is unique in the world of natural honey.
\nBecause of its lower fructose content, pine honey is also one of the least sweet honeys available making it an excellent choice for those who find conventional honey too sugary, and an outstanding pairing for savoury foods, aged cheeses, and bold flavours.
\nRich in Minerals, Exceptionally Pure
\nPine honey is naturally high in minerals including calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron a reflection of the mineral-rich environment in which it is produced. It also has a lower glycaemic impact than most flower honeys and a naturally high antioxidant content. Minimally processed and free from additives, our Pine Honey delivers everything that makes Greek forest honey so extraordinary.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
