Thyme : The Aromatic Classic
Thyme honey is a very special honey, collected exclusively during the Summer in the rocky, dry eastern Peloponnese — specifically the sun-scorched hillsides of Ermionis — and is considered one of Greece’s finest. Our bees forage on wild thyme bushes that bloom between the pine forests and the Aegean Sea, producing a honey that is intensely aromatic, with a robust herbal backbone and an unexpectedly exotic, fruity sweetness.
Tasting Notes:
Deep golden-amber in colour, this strong, intensely aromatic honey rests in resinous, herbal, savoury flavours that are beautifully intertwined with a surprising tropical-fruit character—reminiscent of dates and dried fig s— before finishing with a subtle, lingering mineral note from its native terrain.
Health & Wellness:
Beyond its exquisite taste, Thyme honey is renowned for its robust anti-septic and invigorating properties. Traditionally treasured as a natural elixir, it is believed to offer long life and overall wellness — a true gift of Greek nature.
Harvest Period:
Late June – Early August (peak summer, when thyme is in full bloom).
Perfect Pairings:
- With Tea: Stir into strong black or chamomile tea for a soothing, medicinal boost.
- Savoury: Drizzle over grilled lamb, salty feta cheese, or roasted root vegetables—its herbaceous bite and fruity undertones cut beautifully through richness.
- Breakfast: Spread on warm, buttered sourdough or pair with tangy Greek yogurt for a balanced, energy-packed start to your day.

How to Decrystallise Honey
1) Hot Water
Use a pan or stainless steel pot. Place the closed jar of honey in the pot and fill it up with hot (not boiling!) water up to where the honey is in the jar. Wait until the water is cool. Subjecting honey to too much heat would destroy its live enzymes. Lift the jar out of the pan of water and stir. If there are still crystals in the honey, repeat the process. When the honey is liquid, use as you normally would.
2) In A Slow Cooker
Place open jars of honey in your slow cooker and leave on low for 8 hours or so. No water is necessary, you can do this dry. Leave the honey in the slow cooker for longer if there are still honey crystals present.
