It is made by the bees of beekeeper Vasilis, whose hives sit between 1,000 and 1,500 metres, and comes primarily from fir. This year's harvest is notably lighter and fruitier than most honeydew honeys, with a mild, gentle flavour of forest berries (raspberry, bilberry and a hint of blackcurrant) and an almost creamy softness. Unpasteurised, coarse-filtered and cold-extracted to preserve its full natural character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependently lab tested: Active 15+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMainly from fir this year, as rain washed the honeydew off the oak trees, giving a lighter, fruitier honey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMild and fruity, with forest berry notes and an almost creamy softness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduced high in the region known as the Greek Alps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% raw, never pasteurised\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold-extracted and unblended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoarse-filtered to retain pollen and enzymes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAroma\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA gentle, fruity aroma of ripe raspberry and wild bilberry, with a soft hint of blackcurrant.

His hives are located in one of the cleanest environments in Europe — an area that UNESCO documented in 1991 for its exceptional purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e2.

Sourced from altitudes over 1,500 meters in a Natura 2000-protected area, this honey has a thick, creamy texture with rich, earthy notes of vanilla and caramel.

This remote, untouched environment provides ideal conditions for bees, enabling them to produce a honey that is pure, untainted, and full of unique character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMore About Kostas and His Beekeeping Heritage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKostas is one of a new generation of young beekeepers, deeply committed to organic principles, environmental care, and the well-being of his bees. His honey is more than just a product – it’s the result of a deep respect for nature and the bees that produce it. For Kostas, beekeeping is about balance: you must never take more from the land than you give back. You’ll find him tending his hives in the Peloponnese, a region in the far south of Greece, in places where nature still thrives in its purest form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🧊 How to store your honey\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo preserve its natural potency, store the honey in a cool, dark place. Light and heat degrade the enzymes that contribute to antibacterial activity. Keeping it away from light and high temps helps maintain its flavour, texture, and active properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🍯 Why Raw Honey is Different from Processed Honey\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaw honey comes from the hive to the jar with minimal interference. Most supermarket honey is processed to look attractive—drained of pollen, heated, and blended. Raw honey varies from batch to batch because it’s not factory-processed or heated. It changes with season, climate, and bee forage. We update this fact sheet based on the current batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🌀 Crystallisation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaw honey crystallises naturally (so we cannot accept returns on crystallised honey). We indicate on the site whether the honey is runny or crystallised, but this may change. If you want runny honey and it has crystallised, it's easy to return it to runny.
