✔ Natural honeydew honey from Marchalina hellenica
Pine honey is produced from the honeydew secreted by the insect Marchalina hellenica, also known as the “worker of the pine.”
✔ Distinctive color & rich aroma
Its color varies depending on the harvest season, ranging from dark yellow to light brown. Spring-harvested pine honey is lighter and clearer, while autumn honey tends to be darker and richer.
With a low glucose content, it is less sweet than other honeys and has a spicy, slightly resinous aroma, often compared to iodine.
✔ Naturally slow to crystallize
Thanks to its low glucose content, pure pine honey remains fluid for over 18 months without crystallizing.
✔ High nutritional value
Pine honey is rich in minerals and trace elements such as magnesium, calcium, zinc, iron, and copper. It also contains carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, vitamins, and enzymes, making it an ideal food for athletes, children, and people with demanding physical or mental routines.
✔ Health benefits
Known for its anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antimicrobial properties, pine honey is traditionally used to relieve coughs, sore throats, and gout. It also acts as a tonic, may stimulate heart function, and support ulcer relief.
✅ Low in sugar, suitable for all age groups.
⚠ Do not feed honey to infants under 12 months of age.
