Organic Thyme Honey from Creta from family production Fylladitakis 800g
Melopeion Fylladitakis is a Cretan family business of beekeeping and production of organic thyme honey for the last 50 years. The business has a strong presence in its sector, thanks to consistently distributing products of premium quality to the market. The uncompromised quality of the products over time, is based upon the primary raw material of our blessed land and the commitment of the producers to efficiently capitalize upon the wisdom of tradition together with today’s know-how.
The Cretan honey is widely known for its purity and its high nutritional value, due to the Cretan flora which can support organic cultivations. It is one of the few areas with thyme and pine trees where intense cultivation does not take place. Melopeion Fylladitakis owns an exemplary, private, production workshop in Kakodiki of the Kantanos – Selino province in the Chania prefecture. The area is found in the southwest of the prefecture and is very rich in flora thanks to the crystal waters of Kakodiki river, unspoiled by touristic and residential development and far away from cultivations and pesticides.
Respectively, our over 1.000 beehives are located dispersed across Crete and in selected areas where the conditions are checked and ideal for the bees to collect pure pollen and work undisturbed within the beehives. With the wisdom of traditional production and today’s know-how, the producer is getting prepared for the harvest during the right time periods when the honey fully possesses all of its nutrient.
Remaining loyal to the traditional methods of production, there are investments every year in research and further development of the production, via regular qualitative and quantitative controls, in order to get a final product which is pure, organic and extremely tasty.

Instructions For Use:
HOT BEVERAGE
Place 2 to 3 stems in a closing container. Add 200ml (a cup) of hot water, temperature 90οC. We wait for 10 minutes letting the herb take the hidden power out of it! Time depends on how “strong” we want our drink, the more we leave it the stronger. Remove the herb. Enjoy your cup of tea! If you prefer sweeter flavors, add a little honey. * We want our water to be just before the boiling point in order not to lose the essential oils of our herb with the steam, while the utensil must be closed in order to capture properties and aromas in our hot cup.
COLD BEVERAGE
Follow the steps as in the preparation of the hot with the only difference that we double the dose of the herb. At the end we add our tea to a glass full of ice and enjoy it pure or with a little honey!

Super Food
Honey constitutes one of the basic ingredients (category super food) of the internationally acclaimed, Cretan nutrition. It is rich in vitamins and trace elements, it concentrates many nutrients and is a fast source of energy for the body. Thyme honey holds a pre-eminent position among the different types of honey that are found in the market. It is an intensely aromatic honey, with light bright color, exceptionally pleasant taste with numerous healing properties. Thanks to its premium quality, it boosts the body and helps maintaining the immune system, in good condition.
Crystallisation
It crystallizes within a period of 6 to 18 months since its production, depending upon its quality and the conditions under which it is being preserved. In Greece, thyme honey is considered the best category of pure honey and is has a high demand around the world. A necessary prerequisite for its rich and pure taste, as well as for the maintenance of all of its nutrients, is the consistency of applying traditional methods of production. And that is the evident secret of Melopeion Fylladitakis, which ensures, every year, organic honey of premium quality.
