Earthy. Bold. Unmistakable.
Harvested from the ancient mountain forests surrounding Ano Doliana in Arcadia, Greece, our Chestnut Blossom Honey is a dark, robust honey with a character as profound as its terrain. This raw Greek honey is notably less sweet than typical floral varieties, defined by a deep amber hue, earthy undertones, and a pleasantly persistent finish with a gentle bitterness.
A Convergence of Forest and Blossom
What sets this unfiltered honey apart is its natural composition — a blend of chestnut blossom nectar and forest honeydew. This combination creates a dense, viscous texture and a bold, aromatic profile. Cold-extracted and minimally handled, it retains its natural pollen and complexity, reflecting the character of wild, high-altitude chestnut groves.
Heritage in Every Jar
This single-origin harvest is produced by fourth-generation beekeeper Athanasios Manokas. Tending his hives in the remote forests of the Peloponnese, Athanasios follows a family tradition rooted in traditional Greek apiculture. Each 315g glass jar offers an authentic expression of Arcadia’s rugged landscape and enduring craft.
