The orange tree, one of the most delicious and aromatic citrus fruits, generously provides us with the nectar of its flowers, which we use to make our honey. Every spring, our hives travel to the fertile plain of Methoni, where the orange groves are in bloom, in areas without the use of pesticides, in order to offer you the purest product.

By tasting orange honey, you will discover a unique feast of flavours and aromas.

Its colour is bright yellow, shining like the sunbeams that illuminate the orange blossoms. This honey crystallises quickly, usually within 1 to 3 months, so it is best to eat it immediately and store it in a cool, dry place.
