AKANTHOS Raw Vanilla Fir Tree Honey

One of Greece’s rarest mountain treasures — creamy, raw, and naturally luxurious.

Greece doesn’t give up its treasures easily, but this honey is proof that patience pays off. 

AKANTHOS Raw Vanilla Fir Tree Honey comes from way up in the Peloponnese mountains, pulled from the honeydew of the Greek Black Fir, not the usual flower nectar. 

So, what does “Vanilla Fir Honey” actually taste like?

It’s not your sharp, sugary supermarket honey. This is rich, creamy, and deep. The colour’s a dark amber with a soft pearly sheen. 

The flavour? Think understated sweetness, vanilla warmth, and a hint of forest. The finish is mellow, balanced, and it just lingers—no rush, just pure enjoyment.

Why’s this honey such a standout?

First, it’s true honeydew honey—no flower nectar here. The texture is thick and velvety, with a pearly shimmer that catches the light. 

The aroma balances gentle vanilla with earthy notes from the fir forest. And because it’s raw and untouched, nothing gets lost or added along the way. 

You won’t have to rush through it either; it resists crystallizing, so it stays smooth for ages. Each jar comes from sustainable, careful harvests—so there’s never much to go around.

One more thing: don’t expect to find this every year. The harvest only happens once every two or three years, and the amounts are always small. So when you do get your hands on a jar, you know you’ve found something genuinely rare.

Who’s it for?

Food lovers, home cooks who chase the good stuff, anyone who wants to give a gift that really lands, or those who just appreciate something pure and natural.
