Oak & Blossom Honey – Karyes, Mount Athos

Description

Premium Quality Honey from the Monks of Kelliotes.

This honey is one of the richest in antioxidant properties and is considered honey of exceptional nutritional value. It boosts the human body and contains a high number of trace elements (such as potassium, magnesium, iron, etc.). It has a very distinctive aroma and taste and is one of the darkest types of honey!

Although our country is rich in oak forests, this honey variety is considered rare.

On the peninsula of Mount Athos, the main forest trees that offer their flowers or honeydew are the pine, fir, oak, various flowers, mixed trees which we call forests, and the chestnut. Throughout the ages, bees have developed a harmonious relationship with the forest, providing us with excellent honey. Notably, the forests of Mount Athos are protected under the NATURA 2000 program.
