About the Producers
Embracing the age-old tradition of nomadic beekeeping, the Mourki family honour the environment and their bees with meticulous care and respect. From the bountiful landscapes of Greece, they gather honey and other bee products, employing techniques that tread lightly on nature. With years of expertise, they relocate their beehives to pristine, flower-laden mountains, forests, and fields, far from human interference. Spanning from Messini to Thasos and Central Macedonia to Continental Greece, their journey follows the flowering seasons in pursuit of nature's sweet treasure—honey.
In the early 1960s, Anastasios Mourikis began his journey in beekeeping under the guidance of a prominent beekeeper. After two years of training, he established his own apiaries. In 1978, his wife Fotini joined the business. Their son, Panagiotis, grew up immersed in beekeeping and later took over the leadership, expanding the operation to 2,500 apiaries. To ensure quality, they modernized their production with a state-of-the-art packing plant in Stefani, Voiotia. Maria Mouriki joined the family business in 2017, focusing on product promotion. With 60 years of dedication, the Mourikis family continues to innovate and meet the evolving demands of their customers.
In November 2020, they established a permanent apiary on the picturesque island of Kimolos in the Cyclades. Here, amidst the fragrant thyme and wild lavender, they continue to expand their collection of honey varieties, enriching our offerings with the unique flavours of Kimolos.

Please note: Crystallisation is a natural characteristic of unprocessed, untreated honey, reflecting its pure and untouched state straight from the hive. While some may perceive crystallisation as a change in texture or appearance, rest assured, it's simply nature at work, preserving the honey's inherent qualities.
Despite its crystallised form, the nutritional and biological value of honey remains intact. This means that whether your honey is smooth or crystallised, you're still enjoying the same wholesome benefits and delicious taste that only pure Greek, unprocessed honey can provide.
Embrace it as a mark of authenticity—a reassuring sign that your honey is free from artificial processing and brimming with natural goodness
How to de-crystallise honey
The process to de-crystallising honey is simple. Crystallised honey liquefies in 'ben-marie', at 45-50 Degrees Celsius, without losing any of its nutritional value. Alternatively, you can place the jar with the lid open in the oven at 40 degrees Celsius until it liquefies.
