PROCESS METHOD
THE EXCEPTIONALLY REFINED MIXING
During June-August most of the bees in Crete are transferred to the thymes, which cover most of the Cretan land. Later, when the bees are transferred to the pines, the honeycombs are filled up with the thyme wreaths. The first harvest of these bees comes from this mix and is known as Pefkothimaromelo, or Thyme & Pine Honey.
HONEY OF THE GODS
CRETE, THE BEEKEEPER'S HEAVEN
Honey is one of the pillars of the Cretan diet and stands at the base of Greek gastronomy. Our hard-working bees harvest the nectar of endemic to Crete wild flowers and herbs that grow on the Cretan mountains and one of the best types of honey holds the truly pure, raw Cretan nature in a jar!
