We offer this fragrant, delicious and unusual Scots pine honey, produced in the temple of Eros, the Greek god of love: Greece.
Our pine honey from the south-eastern Peloponnese is an exceptional honey and one of our unusual honeys .
The Peloponnese (island of Pelops) is a peninsular land of choice, home to ancient sites such as the sanctuary of Olympia and the ancient city of Sparta, rival of Athens. A land of mythology, Greece is nonetheless an earthly paradise that thrives without GMOs: beekeeping is a trans-generational skill.
The pine grown on these lands is an evergreen, monoecious tree with a long ripening period. Pine cones need 2 to 3 years to mature.
