Thyme honey

Many people consider thyme honey the king of honey because of its unique taste and its nutritional value.

Thyme honey constitutes 10% of the total honey production in our country. It is produced mainly on the Greek islands where the thyme thrives and conditions are conducive to the optimal performance of its characteristics and excellent growth. Beesart moves its beehives to isolated locations in Galaxidi, Grammatikos and this year part of our bee swarm will travel to the island of Kea. There, far from humans and environmental pollution, the worker bees collect the fine thyme honey.

The preference of consumers for thyme honey is due to its strong organoleptic characteristics. Its colour is amber and bright, which makes it particularly attractive to consumers. Its taste is sweet and pleasant, with a high concentration of fructose, and its aroma is strong and immediately recognisable. Thyme honey, although flower honey, is quite resistant to shrivelling and crystallises within 6 to 18 months.
