Greek Pine Honey From the Island of Evia (8.8 oz jar)
The weeping pines of Evia cry sweetly, secreting a sugary sap from which the bees make an amber honey. An insect called "the worker" by the beekeepers, lives symbiotically with the pines and causes them to produce this sap. This honey is spicy and woody with a stimulating pine aroma that complements toast, teas and sauces. Thought to suppress coughs and soothes the effects of colds. Storage and Handling - Our honey naturally crystallizes because it is minimally processed. Some honeys will crystallize faster than others. To return a honey to its liquid form, gently heat it by placing it in a double bowl with hot water beneath or you may slightly warm them in the microwave. Please be cautious not to overheat them.
Do not refrigerate our honey. It should be stored away from sunlight and heat, preferably at room temperature around 75 degrees.
Reader Reviews
This is an evergreen honey, so it's from sap and honeydew. That makes the flavor and texture different from most honeys.
This is a honey enjoyed not so much for the taste, as the aftertaste. The initial taste is actually a sort of bland sweetness. However, when it rolls around your tongue, the evergreen flavor develops and continues to linger. You can't help but think of enjoying this honey in a warm drink on a cold night. It would be good for savory drinks and dishes, but other strong seasonings can overpower the flavor.
