Our white fir tree honey is collected by the bees from the Mt. Mainalo on middle Peloponnese in Greece. It is the only place in the world where your bees can collect this honey, with the fascinating pearlescent effect. The fact that this honey is so popular and everyone who tries is it amazed is not only due to its glamorous appearance but also due to it´s mild sweet and perfectly balanced taste.
Collecting this honey demands a lot of skillfulness from the beekeeper. Selecting the right spot, catching the right time, with the right weather and with strong and right prepared bees. And leaving at the right time. But the story is not ended there. The most difficult thing to do is getting the honey out of the combs. As it is a very firm honey and not very liquid it mostly stays in the combs, or just gets out with destroying the combs.
But all the work is, again, worth it. The smooth and creamy texture, the fact that it never cristalizes, the glamorous appearence and the deep mild sweet taste are reward enough.
