Description

Premium Quality Honey from the Monks of Kelliotes.

The Chestnut Honey of Mount Athos is particularly nutritious as it has a high content of pollen grains. Research has shown that Chestnut Honey has significant antimicrobial action against various microorganisms, such as staphylococcus, enterococcus, Helicobacter pylori, and both types of Candida. It also has high bacteriostatic activity, which is due to the property of honey produced from chestnut flowers to prevent the growth of bacterial infections in humans.

The chestnut honey has a slightly bitter taste, meaning it contains fewer sugars compared to other types of honey. In fact, beekeepers explain that the sugars in chestnut honey have a higher percentage of fructose and a lower percentage of glucose. Fructose is the substance commonly used in sweeteners intended for people with diabetes, and specifically, the fructose in honey is better absorbed by the body. Therefore, chestnut honey is recommended for elderly individuals as well as for people with sugar-related issues.

The chestnut tree bloom on Mount Athos is favored when mild weather conditions and rainy weather precede it. The bees store quantities of pollen, which is precious to them for raising brood later in the pine trees. The bloom in early June, lasting about twelve days if the weather allows, is important for the hives.
