Raw Greek Red Spruce Honey

Raw Greek Red Spruce Honey

This beautiful dark, rich, silky honey is incredibly addictive. It is subtle, slightly herbaceous, has a luxurious mouthfeel and a very mild sweetness. Moreover, it has powerful medicinal properties for internal digestive complaints and mouth ulcers.

Like our Raw Vanilla Fir honey, Raw Pine Honey and Serra da Estrela Mountain (Oak) honey, this Raw Greek Red Fir honey is a honeydew. Honeydews are made by bees that forage on the secretions of insects that live on the sap of trees. They contain a large percentage of long chain acid molecules called oligosaccharides. Fructose is a shorter chain molecule that crystallizes faster, and glucose is the smallest acid molecule that crystallizes the fastest (think raw sunflower honey). Nectar honey is usually characterized by the presence of glucose and fructose in different proportions.

This Raw Red Fir honey comes from the mountains of central Greece and is produced by Vaggelis, a talented young beekeeper and entrepreneur who has been keeping bees since he was a teenager.

This honey would make a wonderful gift for any honey connoisseur.
