by Tim Walker June 22, 2024
Some exceptional raw honey varieties from Greece.
Last batch of the superb Organic Vanilla Fire from Vasilis. We managed to get the last of the batch of this superb Vanilla Fir honey from Vasilis—the batch that was highly rated by the world famous Honey Sensory Analysis team in Bologna,Italy. It is here.
Also, the last of Thomas' Red Fir. This has been a very special batch, the most popular Fir honey we have ever had. It was also the most potent Fir honey we've ever had. Generally Fir doesn't reach the potency of Oak, but this one was Active 23, making it more potent than Thomas' latest batch of Oak. I would be surprised if the 2024 batch is as potent, but we can live in hope. You can find the last of Thomas' Red Fir here.
Award winning organic Pine from Thassos - An exquisite award winning Pine honey from the unspoiled island of Thassos,known for producing some of the finest Pine honey in Greece. Will let you know when this arrives. (It got the top 3 stars award in the Great Taste Awards.
Super thick Pine from Triantafyllos and his Dad Grigoris. A remarkably thick Pine honey from Triantafyllos and his father Grigorios, who have a proven track record of producing award-winning honeys. Check out the video - https://bit.ly/thick_pine - showcasing its super thick texture. Now arrived.
Arbutus from Kostas - Another exceptionally strong Arbutus harvest from Kostas, matching his previous most potent Arbutus honey we've ever encountered. Will be online soon.
Mountain Forest from Kostas - A deep Mountain Forest honey from Kostas, whose previous Bioactive Forest honey boasted an impressive Active rating of 23. It's here.
Our Winter catalogue has just landed, giving you a taste of what is available this Autumn and Winter - including the new Bioactive Forest (Active 25), an extra virgin olive oil, high in polyphenols. We've have been busy over the last few weeks taking delivery of our new stock. Potent and delicious honeys that I discovered during my travels this year, like the amazing organic Mountain honey created on Mount Helidona from Fir, Oak, Chestnut and mountain herbs. (It's from an exceptionally wild area known as the Greek Alps.)
ACTIVE 25+. We have just taken delivery of a rare & highly antibacterial Sidr & Oak honey from the Rhodope Mountains Greece — the place of one of Europe’s few true virgin forests — very ancient woodland, undisturbed by people. The forest and the bees have produced a truly unique creation. Sidr nectar and Oak honeydew in the same honeycombs - two of our most potent honeys together. Not only is it very antibacterial but the flavour notes of the Sidr and Oak combined are deep and balanced: Oak up front, molasses and dark chocolate, rounded by Sidr’s creamy smoothness.
If you’re searching for a honey that’s not only delicious but also rare, powerful, and steeped in tradition, look no further than our Raw Certified Organic Artisan Sidr - Active 24 One of the world’s rarest honeys, Sidr honey has been cherished for centuries for its purity, healing properties, and unique flavour.
This is one of the finest raw organic forest honeys produced due to the extremely remote area it comes from. Beekeeper Luisa places her hives high in the Cantabrian Mountains and hills in Asturias, a green and unspoilt area in the north of Spain. The forests in this area are untouched, in a chemical-free environment with a mixture of wild Mediterranean oak, chestnut, beech, and pine trees.
