WHY MELI?
During our travels to Greece, we have all enjoyed the honey. It’s so much more different than the honey we eat here in Pennsylvania and The States. There are so many dishes that “just aren’t the same because we don’t have the right honey.”
Honey takes on the regional smells and flavors from the surrounding areas in which it is harvested. Some of the jars of honey we brough back from Greece smell like wildflowers from the fields or a particular island in Greece.
An example was in the summer of 2022. We returned from Greece, specifically from my father-in-laws home in Andros, & brought back Greek honey. My brother was visiting and he asked for some honey. The smell of the honey filled the room when he opened the jar. Thyme and chamomile. Everywhere. The color was deeper. The texture thicker and flavor richer and more aromatic. From teas to desserts to remedies, there are so many uses of Greek honey. We will be featuring several regional honeys from Greece.
