PINE HONEY - IKARIA ISLAND
HONEY 460gr - 16.22oz from IKARIA ISLAND
Greek Unique Honey NEW HARVEST
Pine honey comes from honeycomb secretions.
It's not particularly sweet so I like the taste.
It is rich in trace elements, proteins and amino acids.
Its concentration in sugars is slightly lower than other honeys
(eg flower or thyme), but what distinguishes it is that it never crystallizes
because it has a very low glucose content below 30 %, even after years.
About 75% of the total honey production in Ikaria is pine honey.
This makes pine the most important beekeeping plant on the Island.
Pine honey has antiseptic action, helps to fight inflammation and works against cough and gout.
