This high quality and unique, as it is only produced in Greece, honeydew honey is so characteristic of the Greek countryside that even the scale insect that lives in the sap of the pine trees and produces the honeydew is called Marchalina hellenica. It is collected over a long period from April to November and contains all the nutritious elements that make it an invaluable superfood. Its rich body and flavour make it a favourite among honey connoisseurs.

Crystallisation is a natural and uncontrolled phenomenon that causes pure raw honey to become thick and cloudy. Honey is a supersaturated solution of two sugars: glucose and fructose. The glucose sugar separates from the water and becomes crystals, while the fructose remains as a liquid. The best way to turn honey into a smooth liquid is to heat it with warm water, which should not exceed 35°C, otherwise its nutritious properties will be destroyed. The use of microwaves should be strictly avoided.

Packaging

The unusual packaging of NIRRA honey carries the best of Greek nature - the wood of the mountain forests in the lid and the grains of the coastal sand in the jar. Specially designed and manufactured to ensure the full preservation of the honey's original qualities as well as to showcase its diverse colours, it is as unique as its priceless contents.

The lid, made of solid beech wood, is handcrafted with special attention and care for detail, bringing a tangible element of nature where the honey is born, symbolising the close link between the product and the forest.

Truly, this exquisite jar is a treat for your aesthetics, sealing in quality and preserving this precious treasure intact.

NIRRA VISION

Inspired by the unique structure of the bee society, guided by a long-standing tradition of beekeeping, in terms of the constant, concerted and continuous process of honey production, we are primarily concerned with obtaining truly pure organic raw honey of the highest quality that fully maintains its incomparable and infinite nutritional value along with the holistic satisfaction it offers to the senses.

We firmly believe that honey is an invaluable natural food, and we treat it as such by carefully selecting it, extracting it through natural processes that preserve its nutritious elements and its original aromas and flavours, and bringing it to your table and palate intact, so that you can enjoy the most exceptional and highest quality honey from the land of Greece.

Sustainability is the other pillar of the NIRRA vision, so we have conceived the production of limited and rare honey-based products that not only fall into the category of superfoods by default, but will also add a gourmet touch to your gastronomy and intrigue your palate.
