Product description

Greek Honey from from Lemon and Orange Blossoms

A delightfully speciality honey harvested from the nectar of lemon and orange blossoms. In spring, lemon and orange trees are in full bloom and their blossoms give an extra light amber honey with a pronounced aroma of citrus blossoms. Our Lemon and Orange Blossom Honey has a sweet, fruity taste with a flowery aftertaste. This kind of honey crystallises somewhat easily.

Cretan Lemon and Orange Blossom Honey is rich in antioxidants and minerals, and acts as a natural boost for the human body. Its fruity taste makes it the ideal choice for sweetening citrus or fruit desserts. Additionally it is perfect for salad dressings. It makes a delicious glaze for ham, pork, chicken or salmon.

Meligyris Cretan Apiary

At Meligyris Cretan Apiary we continue a long bee farming heritage that dates back to 1920 holding dear to traditional beekeeping methods, producing pure honey. Our hives are spread across the island of Crete and give us a variety of varietal honeys featuring the depth and diversity of the Cretan wild flora.

Traditional methods of extraction and collection are used to make sure that the enzymes, protein and natural goodness of pure honey stay within. All our honey is unfiltered, unheated and unpasteurised, preserving the entire natural health benefits in addition to the distinctive aromas and taste of pure Cretan honey.

Crystallisation and Honey

Crystallisation is a natural process of pure honey and does not have an effect on its nutritional value. Some honeys crystallize uniformly, even as others crystallize partially in the jar. To turn a jar of crystallized unheated honey to liquid state, simply place it over a warm water bath of 40ºC for about 15 minutes.
