What makes Pine Honey different from regular flower honey?
Unlike flower honey, pine honey is a "honeydew" honey. Bees collect secretions from the pine trees rather than nectar from blossoms. This results in a honey that is lower in natural sugars but significantly higher in minerals, amino acids, and antioxidant properties. It also has a much slower crystallization rate, maintaining its smooth, dark amber texture for longer.
Is this honey raw and unprocessed?
Yes, Nomad Ionian Coast Pine Honey is harvested using traditional, cold-extraction methods. This ensures that the heat-sensitive enzymes, pollen, and distinctive coastal aromas remain intact. At elenianna, we prioritize E-E-A-T principles by sourcing only from producers who verify their artisanal methods.
