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.

Flavour
A luxurious honey with remarkable smoothness. Expect deep earthy tones, layered with caramel sweetness and a soft hint of vanilla. Complex, indulgent, and long-lasting on the palate.

The bees forage exclusively among Black Fir trees (Abies cephalonica), producing a honey that embodies the purity of its untouched landscape.
Producer Story
Kostas belongs to a new generation of Greek beekeepers who combine tradition with organic principles. Committed to sustainability and bee welfare, he tends his hives in remote, wild areas where nature thrives in balance. For him, beekeeping is about harmony with the land—never taking more than what nature provides.
Common Uses
- Drizzle over Greek yoghurt, porridge, or oatmeal
- Spread on fresh artisan bread or warm brioche
- Perfect topping for desserts such as panna cotta, cheesecake, or vanilla ice cream
- Use in gourmet marinades or salad dressings
- A refined addition to cheese boards or charcuterie platters
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.
About Us
At The Raw Honey Shop, we believe honey should be RAW, unpasteurised, and 100% natural. Since 2008, we’ve offered over 30 raw and organic varieties, each with its own character and story. Thank you for visiting—we look forward to sharing the world of pure, raw honey with you, just as the bees made it!

If it is necessary to return the order, the product must be returned to us unopened and in the same condition as when it arrived.

We will resolve this issue by either sending you a new product straight away or refunding your order in full.
If your order is a large tin or tub weighing over 1kg and arrives damaged:-
Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns on tins or tubs of over 1kg. If your tub or tin arrives slightly damaged and leaking, we are happy to give you a partial refund on the amount of honey you feel has been lost. Unfortunately, we cannot replace whole tins or tubs unless more than 50% of the honey has been lost. We would then request you send us pictures so that we can assess the damage and agree the replacement.

Our Returns Policy
If there is a problem with your honey - provided no seals have been broken and the product has not been opened (i.e.: it must be in 'new' condition) you can return your honey to us up to 35 days after you have made your order. Excluding sale items which are sold as per the description and cannot be returned.
We will process your refund within 14 days of having received the returned good(s) or proof of having returned the goods (for example, a proof of postage receipt from the post office), You will be refunded for the full cost of the product(s) as well as any original shipping fees paid.
If you are returning part of a larger order, you may only be refunded a portion of any shipping fees paid.
Please note we cannot issue refunds or replacements for honey because it has crystallised.
We indicate on the website the state of each honey - either runny or crystallised but this information is based on the best of our knowledge and the state can change quickly – particularly in the colder months of the year. The crystallisation process is completely natural (even processed honey will crystallise eventually). If we have indicated that the state is runny and it is crystallised when you receive it - this simply means that it has crystallised quicker than we expected, which can happen. It does not indicate that there is a problem with the honey and therefore is not covered by our returns policy.
Please note that refunds on items bought as gifts can only be issued to the original purchaser.
The Raw Honey Shop reserves the right to apply and interpret this extended returns policy as it decides is most appropriate.
Consumer Contracts Regulations
If you have purchased our products online or over the phone, you will be covered by the statutory Consumer Contracts Regulations.
Consumer Contracts Regulations do not apply to perishable items (eg: fresh royal jelly and fresh bee pollen) or goods with a seal for health protection and hygiene reasons that's been broken.
If the item(s) you receive is somehow faulty or otherwise not as described, your right to return your item(s) is covered under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
