Product Overview

Nature’s Blends has a world-class range of pure raw honey, and our unfiltered Greek Fir Tree Honey is one of the rarest and most flavourful products available in gel-like consistency and pearl-amber colour with metallic gold highlights. This type of honeydew honey brings a real feast of unique flavour that is spicy yet sugary. Also known as Greek Pine Honey, our Fir tree honey is a speciality honey (free from chemicals & additives) sourced from the fir grooves of mainland Greece and Peloponnese.

We perform cold extraction and filter our organic raw honey very minimally because we aim to satisfy our consumers by offering nutrient-rich products preserved with all its beneficial traits. You can distinguish this honey due to its natural property to not crystallise. 

This organic honey makes a perfect fit for a well-balanced diet due to the abundance of antioxidants and flavonoids, antiseptic and diuretic properties, low moisture, high mineral content, lowest levels of sugars (below 30%) and calories.

Texture, Aroma, and Taste:

Our unfiltered and raw honey carries an exceptionally mild to moderate sugariness with a gentle burst of spiciness offered by forest flora. Along with toffee sweetness, you will experience a smooth, lingering taste of pine. Due to the low Glycaemic Index, it has a strong malty flavour. In short, you will be exploring multiple layers of flavours!

The honey usually appears dark red with iridescent highlights. It has a thick, sticky texture combined with a distinctively comforting resinous aroma and soothing forest scents.

Origin: 

Fir Tree Honey is not only difficult to find but also very costly to harvest and extract, making it the rarest honey. Fir trees demand a specific growing climate, for instance, cleaner air with no pollutants and toxin-free soil with no pesticides.

We harvest our honey from lush fir trees grown in high-altitude forests of mainland Greece and the Peloponnese. It is an exceptional form of honeydew honey only produced in the summer months and from the sap taken by the honeybees from the fir trees. It is done with the facilitation of particular insects.

FAQs

Is pine honey good for you?

Yes, consuming pine or fir tree honey is beneficial for health as it acts as a potent immune stimulant. It has antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, healing, and cleansing properties that help combat various bacterial, skin, degenerative, and inflammatory illnesses.

Does fir tree honey crystallize?

One of the most exclusive properties of fir tree honey is its ability to not crystallize like other honey varieties. It remains fluid if stored properly.

Why doesn’t the fir honey tree crystallize?

For crystallization, honey must have higher sugar content. But, fir tree honey comes with amazingly lower glucose levels, making it thicker than usual honey varieties.

What if honey crystallizes?

Honey might crystallize slowly but you can bring it back to its original texture by putting it on heat (indirectly). You can use a double boiler to put your jar of honey in the hot water bath.
