Organic Arbutus Honey

The Arbutus Honey is collected from the nectar dews of the spring Arbutus (Arbutus Unedo) and its great nutritional value make it extremely suitable for the stimulation of our body. It has an intense, strong flavor that tastes like bitter caramel and challenges the most demanding consumers. Its color is dark bronze and it crystallizes very quickly (2-4 months from its harvesting).

It is a special type of honey offered to us directly from the gorges and the green slopes of Mount Parnon at an altitude grading from 200m-800m. 

The Arbutus Honey is harvested in this virgin region from April until late May and since it is the first production of the year, bees offer their pollination services with great enthusiasm. After harvesting, the honey is carefully filtered and packed directly into glass jars in the modern facilities of the Fasilis family. The whole process does not exceed one month from the time of harvest. Honey is then stored in dark and dry spaces, at low temperature, ready to be released for consumption.

Honey crystallization and reset to original status 

Crystallized honey

Honey has a natural trend to crystallize. The crystallization of honey has nothing to do with its quality. In a vase full of honey, crystals begin to form first at the bottom and then at the rest of the vase. New crystals will be added daily and that gives a non-pleasant look to the honey. Crystallization makes honey difficult to use, as well. But, crystallized honey keeps all of its properties. 

Honey reset Reset :

In case that your favorite honey crystallizes, do not worry ! On the contrary, you should be glad that you have bought an excellent honey (impure honey does not crystallize). Crystallized honey can be reset to its original state by using a moderate heated bain-marie. Just heat up the honey and it will be th same as when you bought it. One may also leave the honey vase to heat up on a heating radiator for a few minutes, it will be fine.

Honey and its properties

-A legend claims that the body of Alexander the Great was secured in a glass coffin full of honey, to be preserved until it reached the burial location. The antiseptic and antibacterial properties of honey were already known.

-Honey contains 77% to 78% sugars (mainly glucose and fructose) and has very low moisture content, so it does not favor the growth of micro-organisms.

-Honey cosuming seems to be responsible for the longevity of many famous beekeepers (80 to 100 years).
