"Toplou" Gold Thyme Honey is an award-winning 'Great Taste' (2017) organic farmed product and is a splendid combination of ingredients such as thyme and wild aromatic plants. It is collected from the coastal region of Toplou Monastery in Sitia, Crete which is characterised as a "Natura" area.

Cretan Thyme Honey can be used in baking instead of sugar or can be drizzled over cereal, yogurt and fruit as a delicious breakfast. Mouth-watering syrup sweets such as baklava and other pastries, would not taste as delicious without using raw, unprocessed honey harvested from beehives in the wild Cretan landscape.

A perfect spread on bread or rusks, ideal with yogurt, fruits, pancakes or cheese. A valuable ingredient in salads or in cooking meat and more... Honey is an important part of the Cretan diet due to its health benefits, and has also been a symbol of purity and well-being since ancient times. It can help to lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol and even soothe coughs and burns. Honey for the Cretans is their own liquid gold!

If your honey crystallizes, do not worry! You can restore it to its original state by putting it in a bain-marie. Place the jar with your honey in a boiling pot and in a few seconds your honey will return to its original fluidity.
