Greek Raw - Organic Thyme Honey
Thyme Honey is considered to be the king of honey.
Highly regarded in Greece for its healing properties.
The colour of thyme honey is light amber to amber when liquid, and beige to brown when it is crystallized. Thyme is intensely aromatic honey with herbal notes. The taste is persistent, lingering in the mouth. It crystallizes spontaneously in a short time into medium or fine grains.
Thyme is found in the wild in dry, rocky Mediterranean regions, in the high altitude of the mountains of Greece. Because thyme grows wild it is organic in nature.
Our Greek Raw Thyme Honey is of fantastic quality, a perfect match with Greek yoghurt or on a cheese board, grilled cheese. Also perfect for skin care.
Raw Thyme Honey and benefits
The active ingredients of Thyme are the biocides, Thymol and Carvacrol present in the oil of Thyme. It has excellent antibacterial and antifungal properties, and it is still used, in Greece, as a poultice for wounds, to prevent infection. Also used to cover burns and scalds and helps with sore throats, colds or flu.
Our Artisan - Organic Raw Thyme Honey is unprocessed - unheated and 100% Raw as Nature intended.
Produced by our friend, Thomas and his family in mainland Greece, just about 2 hrs North of Athens. Thomas is a 3rd generation bee-keeper, who learned everything from his father and granddad.
Origin: Highland region Euboea Island of Greece
Good to know: Raw honey has the tendency to crystallise. This is a natural process of raw honey and it does not affect the quality. If you prefer runny honey just place the jars in a bowl of hot water or put it on the radiator and it will return to its runny form.
Store it at room temperature out of sunlight and moisture.
