Description: Fir honey, like all Greek honeys, is rich in polyphenols and phenolic acids, with significant antioxidant, antimicrobial & anti-inflammatory activity. It has a low glucose content, with little effect on blood serum insulin levels, offering advantages in glycemic control while at the same time it is rich in trace elements such as potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and iron.
The colour of spruce honey varies depending on the region of origin, ranging from dark or light red to black. It has a high density which makes it very viscous. The low concentration of sugars contributes to its mild sweetness. It has a light aroma of fir and a spicy caramel taste of mild sweetness.
Origin: At Symbeeosis our spruce honey comes from the Cephalonia fir (Abies cephalonica), with hives in the mountains of Nafpaktia and Elikonas of Biotia in Central Greece, as well as in mountains of Arcadia in the Peloponnese at an altitude of 1,000 meters, where the fir tree grows and dense fir forests develop. These are isolated areas, far from any human intervention, thus ensuring the purity of the raw material.
Packaging: Symbeeosis organic fir honey is available in a 280gr jars made of glass that allow easy removal of the label. They can be recycled or reused as containers to store herbs, seeds and nuts, or as a pencil box.
