Specifically, botanists consider Greece a country with the richest flora in the Mediterranean, with over 7,500 different species of herbs, plants, wildflowers and trees. , with this magnificent array of nature\u2019s blessings, the bees give us multiple types of Greek honey which are our claim to popularity and fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Greece, 12,000 tonnes of honey are produced annually. The vast majority of forest honey production involves pine honey, thyme honey and oak honey. What is interesting to these types of honey is that they do not crystallize and that they have high nutritional value due to their high consistency in trace elements (potassium, sodium, magnesium, iron, etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greek honey, in particular, is famous for its high vitamin, enzyme, amino acid and mineral content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
