Did you know?
Greece produces some of the most premium, pure, and raw honeys in the world, thanks to its biodiversity and traditional beekeeping methods.
According to the Hellenic Beekeepers Federation, Greek honey has one of the lowest sugar content and highest nutritional profiles in Europe.
Greek honey varieties are so diverse that even honeys from neighboring islands can have completely different tastes, aromas, and colors.
Greek oak honey (from acorns) has been classified as a nutritional treasure due to its high antioxidant activity, which can help reduce oxidative stress in the body.

Bonus Tip:
Bees in Greece travel up to 5 kilometers per day to collect nectar from wild herbs, pines, and flowers, creating honeys with complex flavors and natural medicinal properties.
During our tasting, you’ll learn how to identify these flavor layers and what each honey tells you about its origin.
Many visitors say that Greek forest honeys taste deeper and less sweet than typical honeys — because they contain less natural sugar and more minerals.
