Manuka? Thyme? Great… but have you met heather? Warning: may cause a sweet lifelong crush. 😄
Why choose Greek Organic Heather Honey?
Heather honey stands out for its deep aroma and naturally creamy (thixotropic) body. Sourced from hives in mountainous Cycladic landscapes where Erica blooms from autumn to winter, it offers high biological value with abundant pollen and a bold sensory profile—perfect for yogurt, wholegrain bread or herbal infusions.
Evidence-based highlights (heather honey):
– High antioxidant capacity & phenolics. Heather honeys often rank among the highest in total phenolics/antioxidant activity across honey types.
– Antimicrobial/biological activity (in vitro). Driven by osmolarity, low pH, hydrogen peroxide and polyphenols (lab data; not medical claims).
– Distinct sensory & thixotropy. Classic thixotropic honey—gels at rest, liquefies when stirred—explains its lush, spoonable texture.
– Greek heather profile. Studies on Greek Erica manipuliflora (“autumn heather”) report an intense aroma and long, slightly bitter-sweet aftertaste.
How to use
– 1–2 tsp over Greek yogurt with nuts/tahini.
– In herbal teas (oregano, sage, thyme) once warm.
– Drizzle on toast, pancakes or mature cheeses.
– Culinary: glaze for mushroom risotto or vinaigrettes.
