"This is the ultimate, ultimate list of my Favorite Things," says Oprah. Why? Because no matter who's on your holiday list, you'll find everything from the whimsical stocking stuffer to the over-the-top indulgence.
"Derived from the sap of Grecian fir trees, this rare, raw organic honey is beyond luscious. The glamorous packaging will make it a much-appreciated holiday hostess gift."—Oprah
Our award-winning Eulogia Organic Greek Fir honey is harvested in the Mainalo mountain region of Greece. Unlike traditional honey which is created when bees collect nectar from flowers, our fir honey is created from the honeydew left behind by aphids that extract and feed on the sap of the fir tree. Much care is 
needed not only to harvest the honey, but for the bees themselves in order to maintain a balance within this unique ecosystem found nowhere else.
This rare, raw honey is a product of organic farming and the only honey from Greece with a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) distinction from the European Union for its authenticity and uniqueness.
Its exclusivity, thick caramel-like texture and pearlescent luster make this a world-class honey bursting with extraordinary flavor and aroma, unlike any other honey.
We are honored and very proud to announce that our limited edition Organic Greek Fir Honey was selected by the Specialty Food Association as a sofi™ Award silver finalist! Our Organic Greek Fir honey was nominated for the category of “Outstanding Honey, Jam, Preserve or Nut Butter” and is in the running to possibly capture a Gold award and best in category this July.
Every year the Specialty Food association holds it’s annual red carpet event celebrating the “Best of the best” in 35 different food categories such as Condiments, Cookies, Appetizer, Cheese, Meat, Snacks and Packaging to mention just a few.
