HELMOS Organic vanilla fir honey

Organic Fir Vanilla Honey is produced by the Soukas family on the slopes of Mount Chelmos. This honey is not collected from flowers, but from a honeydew secretion, a resin-like substance produced by certain microorganisms on the trunk of the black fir tree. Its extraction is quite costly, as it requires the destruction of the honeycombs. Its production is limited and occurs periodically from year to year.

Flavor:

Mildly sweet taste due to its low natural sugar content, with notes of caramel. It also has a mild fir aroma.

Nutritional Value:

It is rich in trace elements such as potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, and others. It contains vitamins in very small quantities, but even this small amount helps the human body better assimilate sugars.

Color:

Its color varies depending on its region of origin. Fir honey from Mainalo, Parnonas, and Chelmos stands out because of the creamy highlights that form within it, which is why it is known as “Fir Vanilla.” In general, fir honey has a rich honey color, darker in some regions and lighter in others.

Crystallization:

Due to its naturally low sugar content, it does not crystallize at all, making it the only honey variety with this characteristic among the other types of honey.
