Greek honey vs others

Greek honey is considered to be one of the best in the world. The reason for this lies in the biodiversity (high degree of variation of plants) and the soil and climate conditions of Greece, as well as Greek beekeepers’ high level of professionalism. Honey technology is not particularly advanced in Greece, that’s why unlike Greek honey that has the minimum elaboration and standardization, imported honey is a highly standardized product of advanced elaboration (pollen extract, overheat, blended and heated to extremes to prevent crystallization, colour change etc).Imported honey is very watery, since it has high humidity, which makes it vulnerable to contamination.The quality of Greek honey and the compliance with the Greek and the European legislation are ensured thanks to the frequent inspections of the EFET (Hellenic Food Authority) and other certified agencies.

• Honey was the first sweetener ever used by humans.
• The father of medicine, Hippocrates (462-352 BC), who lived, taught and got international recognition for his work, suggested honey to patients as well as healthy people, having realized its great beneficial properties.
• ‘’If something eliminated bees from the planet, mankind would perish within 4 years".
• A quotation attributed to Albert Einstein meaning without bees there are no plants, without plants no animals and thus without animals mankind has little chance of survival.
• In Ancient Greece and Byzantium, people used to marinate the meat with honey and vinegar to make it tasty and tender.
