Aegean pine & wildflowers πεύκο & αγριολούλουδα
Pinus brutia + wild meadow flora
Pine 'honeydew' gives the mineral depth and slow crystallisation; the island's wildflowers give the aroma. Together: the everyday honey of Ikaria.

Pine forest above, wildflower meadows below — the bees work both, and the result is the island's daily honey.
Ikaria's north side: pine forest running down to the sea, wildflower meadows in every clearing.
Pine honey comes not from flowers but from the sweet secretions on pine bark — the bees gather it through the summer and it is harvested in late September.
This is the honey Ikarians eat every day — not saved for guests, just there, on the table, next to the bread.
Greek yogurt, a handful of walnuts, a generous pour. Then a spoon in the morning mountain tea.
Pine honey is prized in Greece for its high mineral content and low sugar — it's the honey traditionally recommended for daily use. Blended with wildflower nectar it gains aroma and softness.
Like all our honey it is raw: spun, coarse-strained, jarred. The pollen and enzymes are still in it.

Apis mellifera cecropia
The native Greek honeybee. Ikaria's hives are carried up and down the mountain to follow the flowering — thyme and pine harvested in late September, heather (ερείκι) in January.
Blue Zone, Aegean Sea
No industry, no pesticides, hundreds of wild herbs and one of the longest-lived populations on earth. The honey tastes like the place.

Ikarians never drink tea without a spoon of honey — and never put honey in boiling tea.
Crystallised? That's raw honey doing what raw honey does. Stand the jar in warm water for ten minutes.
Most jars on the shelf are heated, filtered and blended until nothing of the place is left.
Ikaria is one of five Blue Zones on earth, and its bees forage on wild, unsprayed mountain herbs — thyme, heather, pine and hundreds of wildflowers. Our honey is raw, unheated and unfiltered, so the pollen, enzymes and aroma of the island are still in the jar.
Yes, it is raw and never heated above hive temperature. Raw honey can crystallize naturally over time — that's a sign of purity, not spoilage. Stand the jar in warm (not hot) water to return it to liquid.
Rich and floral with a deep, mineral, almost woody note from the pine — less sweet than most honeys, so it never overwhelms tea or yogurt. Ikaria's everyday jar.
A spoonful in herbal tea (Ikarians never drink their tea without it), over Greek yogurt, on warm bread with butter, or straight from the spoon. Add it once the tea has cooled slightly to protect the enzymes.
Indefinitely, when sealed and kept at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Honey is one of the only foods that never spoils.
Yes, from 12 months of age. Honey should never be given to infants under one year.

The teas Ikarians stir it into, and the rest of the hive.
I grew up on Ikaria, where herbs were not a wellness trend — they were what my grandmother picked on the hillside, dried on the roof and brewed every evening for whoever walked through the door.
Real leaves and roots, never the broken dust sealed into a bag.
Every plant we sell is harvested at peak potency, hand-cut, air-dried the traditional way and hand-packed. Nothing added, nothing taken away.
