The pine honey is a special type of honey that has a slightly bitter taste. This particular one is one of the nicest pine honeys I have tried.

You can't really call it honey from thyme. Okay, it does have a little thyme in it. But thyme honey is very bitter. This is sweet, not bitter! And don't tell me it comes from other flowers because there is a big difference. It should have been more bitter, not so sweet.

    I get a box of different honeys every year. I opened a chestnut honey 30 days ago and it was like water. It was stored in a shady and dark place. My friend who deals with honey told me that it had glucose inside. Can the manufacturer respond?

    This review is about the quantity: 950 gr

    I am a middle-aged Cypriot, and when I don't have an opinion because it's the first time I try this type of honey, and because I had the desire to try all types of honey before "kicking the bucket (the bucket)". The appearance resembles heather honey, Wikipedia says that they may mix pine honey with heather honey, even if it is heather honey and they added essential oil or pine extract, again I would not have an opinion because there is no equivalent to compare it to if it is authentic, I have never been to a honey exhibition neither here in Cyprus when I don't know. Anyway, it calms the stomach somewhat. I will continue the marathon of trying Greek honey

    I bought this specific honey in a product exhibition at Syntagma Square. For many years, I have been eating pine honey, so I have a point of comparison. It is one of the best pine honeys I have tasted. It was spring pine honey from the year 2023. Creamy and slightly bitter with an intense aroma. Its taste was perfect. I immediately searched online to order it again. I highly recommend it.

    The honey that comes from the fir tree is not a common honey that you find in the supermarket and is not intended for all consumers. Its taste is not like that of regular honey, on the contrary, it is a bit bitter and very thick. It would be good, therefore, when we do not know something, not to write anything. Golden rule: It is better to chew than to speak...

Description & Specifications

Strawberry tree honey is produced by the Soukas family on the slopes of Achaea. The strawberry tree blooms from November until late spring, yielding a rare, nutritious honey with unique properties.

  • Contains arbutin, which helps cleanse the blood and regulate cholesterol
  • The polysaccharide tyranose, which extends the life of cells
  • The enzyme diastase (amylase), which breaks down starch
  • Natural, pure honey rich in nutrients
  • A rare, distinctive product from the Chelmos region

It has a characteristically strong, full-bodied, slightly bitter taste, with aromatic notes of bitter caramel. It is very rich in trace elements and vitamins, making it one of the best choices for boosting the body. Its high concentration of natural antibiotic substances helps protect the body against various illnesses.

Strawberry tree honey is also used as a diuretic and antiseptic for the urinary system, as well as in cases of mild bronchial infections. It contains fewer calories than other honeys because of its low glucose and fructose content. It is recommended for people on a diet and for people with type 2 diabetes.

Aroma: It does not have a strong aroma.

Colour: Initially yellowish, it develops a dark copper colour as it matures.

Crystallisation: It crystallises relatively quickly and develops a buttery texture.

According to an analysis by the Bremen Institute of Beekeeping and the Kraft company of Munich, it contains:

  • 0.0% sucrose (table sugar)
  • 36.1% fructose
  • 28.9% glucose
  • 1.7% maltose
  • 1% tyranose
  • 19.5% moisture

Its pH is around 4.5. In Greece, strawberry tree and chestnut honeys are little known, but they are highly sought after in the markets of Central Europe, Russia and Arab countries for their beneficial properties.
