Raw Greek Kalymnos Thyme honey by Wild about Honey
£7.99
Visit product page →Greece is famous for its Thyme honey, and there is a truly amazing diversity of Thyme honey produced. Most of the Thyme honey tends to multifloral, that is to say it is quite obviously Thyme honey but with the presence of enough Wildflowers to change the character of it significantly from place to place.
Some of the Greek islands can be rugged, rocky and sparsely vegetated, and it is on these islands there may be little else flowering at the same time so the bees forage on the Thyme almost exclusively and produce Thyme honeys which are extremely Thyme rich and highly monofloral.
Kalymnos is a small island in the eastern Aegean close to Turkey which produces such a Thyme honey, it is rich golden and HIGHLY aromatic and prized for its medicinal qualities. This year a Kalymnos Thyme honey won 3 stars at the Great Taste Awards. It also goes without saying that Thyme honey is traditionally prized for its medicinal qualities especially for lung conditions, colds and respiratory health.
Our Raw Greek Kalymnos Thyme honey is produced by Isabella who wrote this beautiful letter about her relationship to beekeeping. It is produced in full below.
"My name is Isabella and ten years ago I returned after studies to my beautiful island of Kalymnos. Looking for something new and hearing for years from the old ones that the thyme honey of Kalymnos is really 'golden' (world famous) first in nutritional value and properties, and how important it can contribute to our health, I decided to get involved in beekeeping.
The process until the honey is produced in the hive and reaches consumption was more difficult than I initially imagined. It is a job that requires a lot of physical strength and a lot of patience. The hours you have to devote are too many and the fatigue is indescribable. But the result rewards you. As soon as you bond with the bees and this work, you can understand that the way of life of the bee and how a bee works is admirable.
So every year since then, many times with losses and difficulties, I try with love, patience and persistence, to make this precious gift of nature called thyme honey known to the younger generation, because it should be allowed to be enjoyed in every home. It is a wonder of nature. A miracle, which we are all entitled to have."

Raw Greek Pine honey from Evvia by Wild about Honey
£6.99
Visit product page →Our Raw Pine honey from Evvia is a classic, an incredibly smooth unctuous honey. Unlike other Pine honeys which can have a strong malty or even woody taste, this Raw Pine honey is smooth and mild, and fit for every type of use. It comes only in the month of August from Evvia in eastern Greece and is known by beekeepers as "August Pine" . Like all Pine honey it is a honeydew, much like our award winning Raw Serra da Estrela honey, or our Raw Vanilla Fir or Red Fir honey.
Greek Pine honey is also one of the most antibacterial honeys in the world, surpassing Scottish Heather, Chilean Ulmo, Tasmanian Leatherwood and many others.
This Honeydew is made by bees that forage on the secretions of Marchalina hellenica, an insect which lives on the sap of the Pine tree. It is a particular synergy of the insect and the tree at this time of year that enables this wonderful honey to be made.
Our rare and Raw "August" Pine honey is made by Panagiotos, a friend to the bees and a truly dedicated and talented beekeeper based in the Peloponnese.
Like all good quality Raw honey, it is received cultural wisdom and increasingly scientifically confirmed that raw honey is an excellent pre-biotic, highly antibacterial and a unusually complex superfood produced by master alchemists ( honeybees) transforming nectars and complex phyto-chemicals into food and medicines which are uniquely beneficial to human beings ( and other animals). It is also quite delicious.
All our honey is 100% Raw, Real and jarred in Greece to keep the honey in the best condition possible and to minimize any time between harvest and jarring.
