Fragrant and Delicious Thyme Honey from Symi.
Especially popular for its rich nutritional value and beneficial effect on our health.
It is considered to be one of the most exquisite and tasteful honey varieties and this is why it is one of the finest gastronomic products.
It contains high levels of sugar and has a short crystallization time. Lavender honey has a high Tyrosine content, one of the 22 protein amino acids that helps the nervous system.
It also has antifungal and antimicrobial action.
Lavender honey has proven to be a particularly rich source of flavonoid naringenin and luteolin, both of which have been shown to exert powerful antioxidant effects.
Its creamy texture is achieved by the natural process of microcrystallization in order to leave a velvety feel to the mouth.
We recommend it for a different, "blossom" spoonful of honey with a flowery aftertaste that will amaze you.

Having started with the knowledge and experience imparted by our families, we decided to experiment by cultivating aromatic herbs. In time, nature led us to our next business decisions. Between the mountains of Paggaio and Falakro, in a proprietary field of more than a hectare, next to the river Aggiti, there it begun. In 2014, we planted lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia). In the following years, we experimented with various other herbs such as oregano, thyme, siderits (mountain tea), sage, echinacea.
During the summer, while working in our farm we found out that our plants were very much loved by the bees in the area, so we soon placed our own beehives on the farm, during the lavender blossom. Some weeks later, when harvest time came, the honey we tasted from the hive was completely different from anything we had ever tasted. The discovery of a new kind of honey, gave us great joy and satisfaction, a great moment in our beekeeping course. Lavender honey, the first and only in Greece, became the compass that would show us the direction. We then started replacing some herbs varieties with lavender.
With the same passion and love, we insist on having quality products for the consumer, using natural methods in beekeeping and cultivation.
It is of utmost importance to us to maintain organic farming, therefore our property is annually audited and certified by an approved Inspection and Certification Body (BIO HELLAS).
Our property is an open up farm throughout the spring and summer. One of our activities, is the tour of schools and other groups who want to get in touch with nature and observe and identify herbs.
What we consider to be important and want to communicate with the world is that we must respect nature.
