Pine tree honey
Pine tree is the most important honey producing tree in Greece. It is estimated that over 60% of the total honey production in our country is pine tree honey. Simultaneously it comprises a unique and rare honey for the global market, since it is produced entirely in Greece and Turkey. It originates from the honeydew that is produced from the insect Marchalina Hellenica, widely known as Pine Worker.
Pine tree honey has a mild character, which makes it a favorite to a wide range of consumers. It does not have an intense aroma and it consists of subtle medium intensity sweetness. Its color is of a brownish hue. Its consistency is fairly thick, and due to low concentration of sugar and specifically glucose, it crystallizes slowly (1-2+ years). Its crystallization possibly originates from its natural mixture with honeys made from other plants that exist in pine tree forests.
Did you know that…
- Pine tree honey has naturally high levels of ash in comparison to other honeys that lend it its unique dietary value. High levels of ash equals high level of minerals, which assist the metabolism significantly in human nutrition.
- Likewise consumption of pine tree honey seems to lower oxidative stress that is caused by the known chemical trichlorfon, an ingredient used in medicines for Alzheimer.

Where do we produce it?
We produce pine tree honey in North Evia, one of the three major honey producing forests in Greece together with Chalcidice and Thasos. We position our honeycombs in steep slopes that fall straight to the sea, for the unique advantage of providing bee’s graze with a flight range between sea side and alpine environment.
