The producer
Melino organic honeys are a Novakidis family creation. With three generations of experience the Novakidis are masters of the art of beekeeping. Their chestnut and arbutus honeys come from the pristine forests of Mt Pageon in Northern Greece. With the summit standing at 1956 meters, emblematic Mt Pageon is a monument of nature. As for their celebrated thyme honey it has its origins in the arid hills of the island of Lefkada in the Ionian sea.
The Novakidis being certified organic producers don’t feed sugar to their bees during winter. Instead, they allow them to feed upon their own honey. No chemicals are used at any stage and the hives are placed away from any human activity. The extraction process is always cold and centrifugal delivering the 100% unfiltered, raw and organic Melino honey.
