Thyme Honey: A Taste of Cretan Tradition

Cretan Thyme Honey, a cherished treasure of the island, embodies the essence of tradition, purity, and wellness. Beekeeping in Crete boasts a rich history dating back to the Minoan period. Cretan mythology even features bees and honey prominently.

Thyme, a fragrant herb blanketing Crete's mountains, is the heart of Cretan honey. Thyme honey, harvested in August's warmth, is the primary variety. Other Cretan honeys include pine, orange, sage, and carob.

Thyme honey's dark color signifies its richness in trace elements and high nutritional value. Cretan thyme honey has a deep, light reddish hue, reflecting its potency and purity.
