Greek Wild Thyme Honey 8.8 Oz Jar (Featured in the March Issue of Saveur Magazine)
Greeks' favorite honey because of its pungent aroma, bright amber color, and lasting floral flavor. It is produced in a limited quantity by a beekeeper who sets his hives in the rocky arid White Mountains of Western Crete inthe area of Sfakia and Apokoronas. Harvested manually in June and July when wild thyme blooms, pure wild thyme honey is rare in Greece, because it is the easiest honey to blend. We lab test the pollen in ours to ensure it's purity. This is a versatile honey. Pour it over cheeses, yogurt, and toast. It can also be used to sweeten and flavor sauces and marinates. Naturally soothes coughs and has anti-inflammatory and disinfectant qualities. 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
When I opened the jar, I could smell the thyme.
It had already crystallized, as I've read thyme honey does easily, but it crystallized so finely it had the color and texture of butter. Ironically, the initial taste reminded me of butter, too. This is a sweet, very floral, and yet very savory honey. The flavor reminds me a bit of lavender blossoms. The flavor is very persistent, and pleasantly so.
This will remain a staple in my pantry.
