Our fir honey is collected from the ancient fir forests of Taygetos at an altitude of 1000-1500 meters. It is a honeydew honey, produced from the secretions of aphids that feed on fir trees. It has a deep dark brown color, rich malty taste, and the exceptional property of never crystallizing. Considered one of the most nutritious honeys with a low glycemic index.
Producer's Story
Collecting fir honey requires moving our hives to the most remote points of Taygetos, on paths that can only be reached by mule. This difficulty is rewarded with honey of unique quality. My grandfather was the first to discover these locations in the 1960s.
Seasonal Story
The September 2024 harvest was particularly successful. The hot and dry summer favored honeydew production from the fir trees. This year's honey has an especially intense dark color and a deep, complex flavor that testifies to the health of the forest.
