Meli Serron, Blossom & Thyme Greek Raw Honey, 920gr, glass jar:

Ancient Greeks considered it the exclusive food of the Gods of Olympus. It is a symbol of Health, Well-Being, and Longevity. Justifiably, both honey and the bee are at the top of human esteem. It is the only natural, healthy sweetener, and legends, traditions, historical texts, medical recipes, cooking recipes, and confectionery recipes have systematically referred to it from ancient times until today. Honey has references in all religions.

Greek Honey is unique in the whole world and stands out for its authenticity, its naturalness, its colour, its taste, its density and, in general its, organoleptic characteristics.

Our raw honey is made from flowers and thyme harvested from the Greek countryside and Lefkada island. Our bees collect honey from nectar found in fertile valleys full of thyme and honeydew from a wide variety of wildflowers between the second half of June and the first half of July.

Our Blossom and Thyme honey is categorised as raw honey. When honey is extracted from the beehive, it is only strained to remove wax and other non-honey particles. Honey does not undergo any heat processing. In that way, processing does not severely affect its vitamins, antioxidants and nutritional properties.

Thyme honey colour is light amber when is liquid, and gets darker when it is crystallised. It is a very strong, intensely aromatic honey with resinous, herbal, savoury flavours. The taste is persistent, lingering in the mouth, as a delicious healthful sweetener.

Thyme honey has many properties and benefits for human health. It is an antioxidant powerhouse and immune antiseptic. It is rich in carbohydrates, especially minerals and trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, boron, silicon, iron, zinc, and manganese. It offers health, stimulation, and protection against diseases. Its balsamic properties make it an excellent remedy against coughs and seasonal ailments.

Taking one spoonful of honey daily can have numerous health benefits. Doctors recommend that honey be taken on an empty stomach early in the morning as it gives an instant kick and energy boost, enough to counter an entire day. Also, while going to bed, a spoonful of honey gives a good night's sleep and helps in digestion and relaxation of mind and body.

Our raw Blossom and Thyme honey can be consumed with your favourite morning cereal, bread with butter, as a glaze or marinade, or as a salad dressing. You can also enjoy it with tea, milk, or lemon water, but you need to make sure that the drink is cooled down first before you mix a spoonful of honey.

Crystallisation and quality: Crystallisation is a natural phenomenon unrelated to the honey's quality and does not cause any changes in its nutritional value. Crystallised honey is neither adulterated nor damaged. It can be liquidated easily if you place the jar in a bain -mari with water max 40 ° Celsius for a few minutes and stir well.
