Our Organic Pine Honey is harvested in Northern Evia (Euboea), within a pristine and unspoiled natural environment. Considered one of Greece’s most treasured honey varieties, it combines exceptional nutritional value with the distinctive aromas of the Mediterranean pine forest. The unique interaction between the mountainous landscape and the sea breezes of the Evia Gulf and the Aegean Sea creates ideal humidity conditions for the development of Marchalina hellenica—commonly known as the “pine honey insect”—which is responsible for the honeydew secretions from which this honey is produced. The surrounding pine forests coexist with a rich diversity of wild herbs and native flowers, contributing additional layers of aromatic complexity and character.

At elevations ranging from 500 to 1,000 meters, the Aleppo Pine (Pinus halepensis) dominates the landscape and serves as the primary source of our Organic Pine Honey. Through the activity of Marchalina hellenica—commonly known as the “pine honey insect” and responsible for the production of honeydew secretions—bees collect the valuable honeydew that gives Pine Honey its distinctive character. At the same time, they gather nectar and pollen from native plants that bloom alongside the pine honey flow, including ivy, strawberry tree (Arbutus), blackberry bramble, heather, and a variety of Mediterranean shrubs and wild herbs.
