The BUzz aboUt oUr honey...

We chose to partner with Meligyris Cretan Apiary not only for their delicious tasting honey.  Their honey boasts many health benefits due to their care and processing methods. They continue a long bee farming heritage that dates back to 1920, in their words...holding dear to traditional beekeeping methods - 

Our hives are spread across the island of Crete and give us a wide range of varietal honey featuring the depth and diversity of the Cretan wild flora. Traditional methods of extraction and collection are used to ensure that the enzymes, protein and natural goodness stay within.

All our honey is raw, unfiltered and cold pressed preserving all the natural health benefits as well as the distinctive aromas and taste of pure Cretan honey.

The unique characteristics of Meligyris artisan honey are strongly connected to the unique ecosystem of the island:

• The mountainous terrain of Crete
• The flora (rare wild herbs and brushwood)
• The microclimate (altitude, sea breeze, warm & dry climatic conditions)

Meligyris is synonymous with the highest standards in quality and holds the following certifications-

• IFS Certification (International Food Standard) by TUV NORD for food safety, hygiene, and quality procedures
• FDA Certification
• Certification for not containing pollen from genetically modified plant

Natural, healthy, and delicious!   Learn all about the Meligyris products we carry in the TASTE section of our products page.
