Discover the rare taste of Greece with our Wild Arbutus Honey from Taygetos Mountain. Naturally bitter, herbal, and perfectly balanced — raw, unfiltered, and crafted in small batches.

Rare. Complex. Naturally Bold.

Collected from the remote slopes of Taygetos Mountain in Laconia, Greece, our Wild Arbutus Honey is among the rarest Greek honeys. Derived from the nectar of the wild strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo), this honey is celebrated for its unique balance of bitter, herbal, and subtly sweet notes.

Dark amber in color and full-bodied in flavor, it offers a refined taste experience unlike any other honey — earthy at first, with a smooth, lingering finish. Revered by honey connoisseurs, Wild Arbutus Honey is a natural delicacy of Greece’s untouched forests.

Raw, unfiltered, and cold-extracted, it retains all of its natural enzymes, pollens, and antioxidants — a true reflection of the land and the bees that create it.
