Organic Officinal Thyme Honey
This honey, endemic to Crete and harvested in Apiculture DOUCE®, comes from specialized apiaries located in honey-producing areas rich in rustic aromatic plants.
The bees of Sitia on the island of Crete offer us this nectar with an amber color and very aromatic flavors.
