What is Artisan Raw Greek Vanilla Fir Honey?

Premium Organic Honey "Vanilla Fir” is the only Greek Honey with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). It is harvested in our own organic apiaries, from the black firs of Mount Mainalon in Arcadia - which reaches a height of 1500m.  It is a renowned product for its taste and low sugar concentration. It is light in color, a shade between pearl and vanilla. We gave it its first name because of its vanilla-like color, but in no way does it imply vanilla in any form.

From Mount Mainalon, in Arcadia, Greece

At a height of  >1,500m

Mainalon is the tallest mountain in the Mainalon highlands of the Peloponnese, located in Arcadia, Greece. In antiquity, the mountain was especially sacred to Pan (the Great God of tremendous power, Lord of fertility, and wild nature). Natura (2000) cites Mainalon as the Greek fir’s best representation in Peloponnisos. The mountain is home to many forests of the Abies Cephalonica species of Greek fir, which is native to the mountains of Mainalon. It is a medium-sized evergreen coniferous tree growing to 25–35 meters tall, which lives at altitudes of 900–1,800 m. This is where our bees harvest our Organic Vanilla Fir Honey treasure, making it special in taste and origin.

It is thus the most unique and superlative honey in the world. You will never taste a higher masterpiece of organic bee craftsmanship.

Extraction Method

From the beehive to the jar

This precious honey has been sustainably extracted by using centrifugal force method and absolutely without any heating process, that's why it sustains all its BENEFICIAL NUTRIENT ELEMENTS and its unparalleled caramel-like taste.

Limited production

in small batches

We prepare each bee product by hand in small batches on our farm in Arcadia, Greece, ensuring the highest quality health enhancements for both your body and your skin. To protect our bees, we only harvest up to 60% of our beehives’ production, leaving at least 40% of the honey on the honeycombs, while implementing a course of "balanced" actions to ensure sustainability for our earth, our pollinators, as well as ourselves and the generations to come.
