Raw Organic Greek Vanilla Fir Honey – Creamy, Rare & Luxurious
This rare and highly prized honey is harvested from Black Fir trees high in the Panachaiko Mountains of Greece by Kostas, a young organic beekeeper. Collected at altitudes above 1,500 metres in a Natura 2000-protected area, it is one of the rarest honeys in Europe. Thick, smooth, and indulgently creamy, it carries deep earthy notes with natural hints of vanilla and caramel. With its naturally low glucose levels, it rarely crystallises—making it one of the most unique and sought-after honeys in the world.

Aroma
Rich, resinous and earthy, with subtle warm undertones of vanilla and caramel. The scent reflects the high-altitude fir forests where it is gathered.

Origin
Sourced from Panachaiko Mountain in the Peloponnese at over 1,500 metres altitude. This region, part of the Natura 2000 network, is protected for its biodiversity and pristine environment. The bees forage exclusively among Black Fir trees (Abies cephalonica), producing a honey that embodies the purity of its untouched landscape.

For him, beekeeping is about harmony with the land—never taking more than what nature provides.

How to store your honey
Store in a cool, dark place away from heat and sunlight to preserve its beneficial enzymes, flavour, and natural properties.
Why Raw Honey is Different from Processed Honey
Raw honey is minimally filtered and unheated, retaining all its natural enzymes, pollen, and nutrients. Unlike supermarket honey, which is often pasteurised and blended, raw honey varies with each season and batch, reflecting the forage of the bees and the uniqueness of its environment.
Crystallisation
Unlike most honeys, Vanilla Fir honey rarely crystallises due to its very low glucose content. If it does set, simply place the jar in warm water to return it to a smooth texture. Learn more in our Runny Honey Guide or read about honey crystallisation.
