Fir Tree Honey
Our Fir Tree honey is produced by our hard working bees at high altitudes on the slopes of Mt. Parnassos, high above a pair of mythical cliffs that are called the Phaedriades “Φαιδριάδες”, or “The Shining Ones”.
These famous cliffs rise either side of a very narrow gorge from which flows the Castalia Spring and tower above the Temple of Apollo, where the “Pythia” or Delphic Oracle would deliver prophecies to pilgrims. In honour of this sacred and ancient place where our Fir Tree honey is made, we have named it Φαιδριαδες.
This amazing organic honey has become a rare product. With all the difficulties that we have faced over the past decade, with climate change, we struggle to produce this honey every 3-4 years. This amazing honey can be found only in Greece, and is produced from fir forests at high altitudes. Dark, thick and with a nutty, malty, flavour with hints of caramel and toffee. It is the only honey in Greece that never crystallizes.
Our fir tree honey has high concentrations of polyphenols and phenolic acids which help to combat free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and may lower the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and certain cancers. It is also known for its ability to inhibit bacterial growth and reduce inflammation in the body. In addition, our fir tree honey is high in oligosaccharides, which have prebiotic qualities that nourish beneficial gut bacteria and help improve digestion and relieve stomach/intestinal issues.
