There’s something rather special about Greek honey. The country’s mountains, pine forests, wild herbs and flowering countryside give the bees plenty of different plants to forage from, and that comes through in the flavour of the honey.
At The Hellenic Deli, we’ve chosen a selection of Greek raw honeys with different characters — from aromatic thyme and rich pine honey to distinctive fir and heather varieties. Each one has its own flavour and reflects the part of Greece where it was produced.

Thyme is often used to flavour meats, soups and stews. It is often used as a primary flavour with lamb, tomatoes, and eggs.
We like Greek honey for exactly the reason we like so many of the foods we stock - it has a strong connection to where it comes from. Our selection includes some of the more distinctive Greek varieties, each with its own character.
If you’re not sure which one to try, have a look through the individual honeys. We’ve included notes on their flavour and where they come from, so you can choose the one that sounds most like your kind of honey.
