Interesting facts about honey
Honey has had a prominent place in Greek culture since ancient times, in culinary, medical and religious practices.
The historical importance of honey in Greece
In Greek mythology, honey was considered the "food of the gods". According to legend, little Zeus was fed honey by the nymph Melissa, whose name means "bee".
The priestesses of some goddesses, such as Artemis, were called "Melissae", symbolizing their role as "bees" serving the deity. Honey was also used in religious ceremonies, when it was sacrificed in the form of sweet cakes to the gods.
In ancient Greece, honey was a basic ingredient in the preparation of food. It was a key ingredient in, for example, "mitotos", a cake made of honey, cheese, oil and garlic, or the drink "melikraton", a mixture of milk and honey.
Honey has also had a prominent place in medicine - famous doctors such as Hippocrates prescribed it to treat fever, wounds and other health problems.
Modern beekeeping in Greece
Greece still retains a rich tradition of beekeeping. There are approximately 25 000 beekeepers in the country, managing around 1.3 million hives.
Thanks to the diverse flora and favourable climate, Greece produces the highest quality honeys such as thyme, pine and fir honey. Greek beekeepers often move their hives between different regions to take advantage of the different flowering seasons, which ensures the unique taste and aroma of their honey.
Greek honey stands out for its purity and rich flavour, which is attributed to the country's biodiversity and traditional processing methods. Beekeeping in Greece is not only an important part of cultural heritage, but also an important economic sector.
Approximately 11 000 tonnes of honey are produced annually, supporting both professional and small-scale beekeepers and helping to preserve traditional values and the rural way of life.
Honey thus remains an important part of Greek culture, where it is a symbol of divine nourishment and at the same time represents the richness of Greek nature and the constant observance of tradition.
