Tastings

The story of Kokkiadis Honey Farm began 14 years ago in Crete, inspired by the founder’s love for nature and passion for beekeeping. The farm's philosophy is to produce Cretan beekeeping products in a pure and natural way, just as our ancestors did, with a focus on respecting nature and human health.

The farm produces Cretan honey, wax, pollen, and propolis without any processing and without adding substances like antibiotics or pesticides. The bees feed exclusively on the rich flowers and herbs found on the island of Crete, just as they did in Minoan Crete, specifically in the Selakano mountains of the Lasithi region and in Athanatoi in the Heraklion region.

With awards by Greek and international bodies in London, Paris, and Dubai for its quality.

The goal of Kokkiadis Honey Farm is to produce authentic Cretan honey and other bee products with pure, nutritious ingredients and the authentic taste that makes a difference. The farm’s honey is certified organic, as are the hives.

This is a rare premium product, produced naturally without added sugar, antibiotics, or the presence of pesticides, according to the posted analyses. Due to the abundance of ingredients it contains, it has been attributed with antioxidant, anticancer, and healing properties.

This unique honey has been awarded by Greek and international bodies in London, Paris, and Dubai for its quality.
