We take care of our bees
please, help us protect them.
The Uniqueness of Cretan Honey
The uniqueness of our honey lies in the seasonal movement of our hives from mountain to mountain, ensuring that our bees collect nectar and pollen from the rich variety of wild herbs found across Crete. Crete is home to over 2,000 wild herbs, of which 190 are endemic, found nowhere else in the world.
This extraordinary biodiversity gives our honey its distinctive flavours and aromas.
Hippocrates, the father of medicine, valued honey for its healing properties, using it both as food and medicine.
The Minoans, our ancestors, also held honey in high regard, considering it a precious element in both their diet and rituals.
Our Commitment to Quality
Our authentic Cretan honey is packaged in our modern facilities located near the Palace of Phaistos, at the foothills of Mount Psiloritis.
The standardisation process is carried out with great care to preserve the honey’s natural purity and high nutritional value, without any form of processing.
The company operates under a certified Food Safety Management System in accordance with international standards FSSC 22000 and ISO 22000, ensuring quality at every stage of production and packaging. It is also certified by DIO for organic products and approved by AGROCERT for the production of PDO honey. Additionally, all products bear the “Crete” label, guaranteeing their authentic origin and adherence to strict quality and locality standards.
The company is registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), ensuring compliance with US market requirements.
