Helmos Pine Honey 950gr

Pefko honey is produced by the Souka family in northern Evia. It makes up 65% of the total production of honey in Greece and comes from the honeydew secretions of the Marchalina hellenica insect, when it parasitizes Aleppo and Trachea pine.

Taste:

Due to the low concentration of sugars, it is not too sweet.

Nutritional value:

Pine honey is considered a honey of high nutritional value, something that is indicative of the high percentage of ash it has. This is mainly due to the large number of different substances present in its composition. Of these substances, metals and trace elements (calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, copper, etc.) prevail, which are found in large concentrations in Greek pine honey.

Perfume:

Especially. Some liken it to the smell of iodine.

Xρώμα:

The color of pine honey is characteristic and darker than thyme. In fact, the one produced in the spring is lighter in color and clearer than the one produced in the fall.

Crystallization

The crystallization of pine honey takes place at a fairly slow rate, since its natural glucose content is low. More specifically, pure pine honey remains liquid, i.e. without crystallizing, for more than a year and a half.
