Mount Athos chaste tree honey is a distinctive 1 kg / 2.20 lb summer honey by the Fathers here on Mount Athos. Also known in Greek as kanapitsa honey, it is a relatively rare variety produced during the flowering period of the chaste tree.
Its color ranges from light to amber, while its taste is gently sweet with subtle herbal notes and a pleasant, lightly bitter finish. The aroma is expressive and floral, with a natural character connected to the plant's blossoms.
Chaste tree honey may crystallize relatively quickly, developing a creamier, buttery texture. This is a natural characteristic of the variety and does not affect the honey's quality.
As a monofloral honey, it has a distinctive natural profile, with phenolic and flavonoid compounds naturally present in honey. It is an excellent choice for those who enjoy special Greek honeys with herbal character and a clean, aromatic taste.
Properties: It is traditionally considered rich in antioxidants, minerals and trace elements, while in folk tradition and antiquity it has been associated with beneficial and tonic qualities for the body.
