Only the Best Oak Honey

Highly acclaimed for its high nutritional value.

The oak, one of the sacred trees of the ancient Greeks, forms rich forests throughout almost all of Greece. The oak or oak, the tree of Jupiter, lives for many years showing exceptional stability and resistance to lightning. Beesart moves its hives to oak forests far away where bees can collect honey undisturbed and away from human pollution. We have chosen for the collection of our honey the well-known oak forest of Foloi at the foot of Erymanthos in Elias and the oak forests next to the rocks of Meteora.

Oak honey belongs to the category of honey produced from honeydew, that is, it is honeydew honey. The bark of the oak is infested with insects which secrete a sticky substance, the honeydew which the bees collect and from which they produce the honey. 

Oak honey can also be found under one of the following names: “black honey”, “honey from a tree”, “meloura” and “acorn honey”.

As we said in the Greek market, oak honey is starting to enter dynamically in recent years and one of the reasons for this delay is its very dark color and its low fluidity. It has been observed that Greeks prefer liquid light-colored honeys, something that seems to be slowly changing. The oak honey has a very dark color, almost black with a rich caramel taste of low sweetness. Its aroma is rich and transports the consumer to the semi-mountainous forests of the Peloponnese and Thessaly from where it was collected. As honeydew honey it sugars very slowly, remaining viscous for quite a long time.

In addition, it has a high content of enzymes, proteins and vitamins that help in the metabolism and proper functioning of vital organs. Aristotle University Thessaloniki research in 2015 after comparing 48 samples of honey from around the world showed that dark oak honey has the strongest antioxidant action.

Antioxidants are very important for the proper functioning of our body by shielding our immune system. An important feature that launches the nutritional value of oak honey is its high content of pollen grains.
