Honey is a natural treasure, known for its beneficial properties since ancient times.
The ancient Greeks valued honey & its properties as a gift from the gods. It is no
coincidence that honey and bees play a leading role in mythology. Hippocrates
distinguished honey for its healing properties and recommended it as a medicine in
various conditions.
Where the fir forest meets the thyme fields on Mt Giona in the Municipality of
Delphi, our permanent apiary is located. This rare natural coexistence results in our
fir and thyme honey of a limited production which is a worldwide innovation and is
available in luxurious numbered packages.
The natural combination of fir and wild thyme that grow in high altitude, give honey
wonderful levels of flavour , coming in waves of evolution. The aftertaste is equally
delightful and the length extraordinary. This is honey with increased healthy
characteristics and rare aromas.
The health characteristics of our fir with thyme honey are determined by a study of
" Antibacterial and antioxidant properties of MELLIN Honey compared to MANUKA
Honey UMF 24+ ", which was carried out by the University of Thessaly(Greece), school
