Properties:

Pine honey has a special and characteristic color, which depends on the period of its production. The color of pine honey is found in shades from dark yellow to light brown. Pine honey produced in spring has a lighter color and greater clarity than that produced in autumn. As honey it is not particularly sweet, due to its low glucose content while its aroma is spicy and unusual reminiscent of that of iodine. Pine honey crystallizes slowly, due to its low glucose content, and pure pine honey can remain fluid for a long time exceeding one and a half years.

Magnesium, calcium, zinc, iron and copper are some of the minerals and trace elements found in its composition.
