As part of our collection of distinctive, rare European honeys, those from the Greek Isles are some of the most iconic. The Wild Arbutus Premium Greek Honey has a slight bitter, herbal taste, making it less sweet and more robust. This honey is harvested from the wild, mountainous slopes of the Taygetos Mountain in Laconia, Greece, making it one of the rarest and most distinctive honeys in the Mediterranean. This raw Greek forest honey is produced from the nectar of the wild strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo) and is prized for its unmistakable flavor profile—boldly bitter, herbal, and subtly sweet. A Honey for true Connoisseurs. Unlike conventional blossom honeys, arbutus honey is celebrated for its complexity and restraint. Dark amber in color with a full-bodied texture, it opens with earthy bitterness and finishes smooth and lingering. This unique balance makes it a favorite among chefs, sommeliers, and honey purists seeking something truly uncommon. Pure, raw, and uncompromised cold-extracted and unfiltered, this honey retains its natural enzymes, pollen, and antioxidants. Produced in small batches and never heat-treated, it reflects the rugged biodiversity of Taygetos Mountain—one of Greece’s most pristine and herb-rich ecosystems.
