Honey is produced exclusively in the Southeastern Mediterranean & of course in Greece. 65% of the total honey production in Greece is pine honey & comes from the honey secretions of the insect Marchalina hellinica known as “cotton”, “worker” of the pine. With a taste not particularly sweet & aroma that stands out is the most important beekeeping plant in Greece.
You collect from the pine forests of Arcadia in the Peloponnese and Evia at an altitude of 800m. – 1300m. both Spring (April – May) and Autumn (September – October). Spring pine honey is lighter in color, clearer & more fragrant than what is produced in autumn. Due to its low glucose content, its crystallization takes place at a fairly slow rate (> 8 months). The nutritional value of Greek pine honey is based on the large number of different substances that coexist in its composition. A special place is occupied by trace elements which are found in large concentrations in Greek pine honey, characterizing them as honey with high nutritional value.
