FIR HONEY
Greek Fir Honey, Meleagros, is collected in the virgin fir forests of Pindos sierra, near Pertouli, at an altitude of over 1200m. away from intensive farming or other possible sources of pollution. It's dark red colour, delicate aroma and characteristic caramel flavour have made it stand out among the most demanding consumers worldwide.
Meleagros Fir Honey is especially rich in minerals (potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, etc.) and it does not crystallize due to its very low glucose content.
Fir honey production in Greece is less than 5% of the total, making it one of the rarest varieties in the country.
