FIR-”VANILLA” Honey - A honey like a myth: rare, mild and full of depth.

The fir vanilla honey is harvested between the beginning of May and mid-July and is known for its flavour and low sugar content. 

Its delicate vanilla-caramel flavour is reminiscent of the sensuality of Aphrodite - gentle but unforgettable.

A limited harvest, therefore the pearl among Greek honeys!

Characteristics:

Colour:
An elegant, light brown to copper-golden honey, often with a pearly lustre - a distinguishing feature of this particular region of origin. The colour is lighter than other fir honeys, a sign of its purity and mineral structure.

Consistency:

Dense to syrupy, with a silky texture.
Thanks to its very low glucose content, this honey remains liquid for an extremely long time - often for years - without crystallising.

Flavour & aroma:
Delicate, noble and complex.
The fragrance unfolds with fine resinous nuances, a hint of beeswax, fresh bark - and a naturally vanilla-like, mildly sweet note reminiscent of dried flowers and forest floor after summer rain.

Flavour profile:
- Entry: Subtly sweet, soft and round
- Heart: Delicately resinous, with a creamy texture and vanilla undertone
- Finish: Long-lasting, balsamic and mineral-noble
→ No bitter aftertaste, but a gentle, woody mouthfeel with exceptional harmony
A honey that is defined by finesse rather than force - for connoisseurs and gourmets.

Health benefits:
- Rich in calcium, magnesium, potassium & iron
- Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory - supports the immune system & mucous membranes
