Honey

From ancient years honey is recommended not only for the “wellbeing” but also the longevity of a person. In ancient Greece it held a special place as a natural and health product, essential for everyday dietary needs. Greek honey is separated in two categories. Anthomela, that are produced from the nectar of plants and dasomela, that are produced from insects that are found mainly in trees in the forest. Anthomela receive their name from the name of plant from which they are produced.
