IKARIA HONEY
‘FROM THE LEGENDARY ANCIENT HEALING ISLAND’
IKARIA, GREECE—–A DESIGNATED BLUE ZONE
Ikaria is lavishly abundant with natural beauty and rare diversity. The indigenous Ikarian bee forages in this pristine environment and creates a unique, special, and extremely healthy honey.
The bees thrive in this distinctive habitat without any interference from humans throughout the year. The ninety-nine square mile island is divided in its centre by rugged mountainous terrain and possesses a wide variety of indigenous foliage. Just a few that have an impact on our honey are White Heather, Fall Heather, Greek Strawberry tree, Wild Lavender, Akoniza, Pine trees, Thyme and Wild Oregano. All of these contribute numerous health benefits.
Ikaria has no industrialisation nor conventional farming or large plantations due to its rough terrain. In consequence, pollutants are non-existent which in turn allows for exceptionally clean air, land and water. Our honey is thus free from chemicals, pesticides and/or herbicides. This is quite different from the great majority of the honey that is presently consumed world-wide.
The eco-conscious environment of Ikaria benefits the bees to maintain natures intelligence, and to produce naturally pure honey simply because of where its produced.
“A true feat considering the effects that bee colonies are suffering from world-wide”
