Arbutus Honey of Mount Athos - 1Kg

     Arbutus honey is produced in the protected forests of Mount Athos and comes from the honeydew of the strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo & Arbutus andrachne). It is a special and unique product, valuable in the field of traditional therapeutics. It has a characteristic slightly bitter taste and reminds of baked caramel. 
     The calories found in the honey are less than the ones contained in other honeys, due to its low percentage of glucose and fructose. In the arbutus honey there are  autumn flowers that coexist in this honey, such as ivy, rough bindweed, Erica manipuliflora, rosemary etc., and contribute to its aromatic character. The honey has not undergone any treatment or filtration and, therefore, it is possible to contain pollen or small pieces of beeswax.
