Helmos Honey Vanilla Elatis 480gr

FIR HONEY VANILLA

Elatis Vanilla honey is produced by the Souka family on the slopes of Helmos. This honey is not collected from the flowers but from a honeydew (resin) produced by some microorganisms in the trunk of the Black Fir. The extraction of honey is quite expensive because it requires the destruction of the combs. Its production is quite small and periodic throughout the years.

Taste:

Mildly sweet taste due to low natural sugars with hints of caramel.

Nutritional value:

It is rich in trace elements (potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, etc.). It contains vitamins in very small amounts, but even this small amount helps to better assimilate sugars by the human body.

Perfume:

Mild fir scent.

Colour:

It varies according to its region of origin. Thus, the fir honey from Mainalos, Parnonas and Helmos stands out due to the creamy highlights that are created inside it and is called "Vanilla Elatis". In general, fir honey has a strong honey color, darker in some areas and lighter in others.

Κρυστάλλωση:

Due to its low natural amount of sugars, it does not crystallize at all and is the only one with this quality among the other varieties of honey.
