Honey is an aromatic and tasty superfood, which the ancient Greeks considered as a gift from gods.
It is a symbol of Health, Well-being and Longevity.
The temperate climate, the long sunshine duration and the wide variety of nectar and pollen plants, either native wild plants or cultivated, of Messinia, Mount Taygetus and Mani’s, guarantee the production of honey of the finest quality. We collect top quality honey directly from the bee keepers, in its natural form, pure and unprocessed.
It is not filtered and therefore it is possible to find small traces of beeswax in the jar, however this adds high antibacterial properties.

Preservation and storage conditions
Honey is properly preserved and stored resulting in greater shelf life.
The product retains its nutritional value when it remains in a closed package and in a dry,
cool, dark place and without strong odors (honey has the ability to absorb moisture from its environment
as well as is affected by its direct exposure to sunlight).
Honey crystallization
Honey crystallization is a completely natural process that occurs mainly in flower honey
and does not affect the nutritional value of the product. Honey with increased glucose content crystallizes
very quickly (e.g. heather honey) in contrast to honey with a lower amount of glucose where it crystallizes at
a slower rate or not at all (eg pine honey). However, in case you want to liquefy the honey that has crystallized,
you should place the package with the honey in a container with heated water which will be constantly stirred so
that it heats evenly.The temperature of honey should not be higher than 45oC, as the increased temperature
can have negative effects on its color, aroma and taste.
