Greek Thyme Honey is one of those flavours that immediately reminds you of the Cretan countryside.
The bees forage among wild thyme and other herbs growing across the island, producing a golden honey with a lovely herbal aroma and a rich, rounded sweetness.
It has a lovely floral and herbal aroma, followed by a rich sweetness with a gentle thyme character. It's more aromatic than many everyday blossom honeys, but still beautifully balanced rather than overpowering.
The exact flavour can vary slightly from harvest to harvest, depending on what is flowering when the bees are foraging. That's part of the charm of a natural honey - it reflects the season and the place it comes from.
A spoonful over thick Greek yoghurt is a simple favourite, especially with a few walnuts on top. It's also lovely with Greek cheeses, spread on warm bread or stirred into herbal tea.
For cooking, try it in a simple dressing or marinade, or use a little in baking when you want that distinctive Cretan thyme flavour to come through.
