I always prefer to purchase high-quality domestic products rather than from stores, but finding a responsible producer is sometimes very challenging.

I believe there is no tourist who has visited Thassos and has not bought at least one jar of honey for which the island is famous. Vesna Nikolic, along with her Greek family on Thassos, produces high-quality honey and olive oil.

If you visit Thassos, make sure to stop by and try the honey she produces; I am sure you will be delighted by the taste and quality. And of course, mention that you learned about the products through our website.

Vesna Nikolic is married and lives in Thassos, in the village of Skala Prinos. Her husband represents the fourth generation in his family professionally engaged in beekeeping.

Here is how Vesna described the beekeeping business in which she actively participates.

“Honey from Thassos - Mελι Θασου Γλυκια μελισσα is the name of our family company that has been in existence for 4 generations. We have 600 beehives and mainly collect pine honey and some floral honey. We are professionally engaged in beekeeping, and we collect pine honey in a special way. What does that mean?

In order to gather pure pine honey in the autumn, bees must be prepared in a unique way that only a small number of beekeepers practice because it is a more challenging but the only way to obtain quality honey.

In fact, for bees to produce high-quality and pure pine honey, they need to spend time in a chestnut forest to prepare. Pine honey is unique and medicinal. Its main characteristics are that it does not crystallize and is not as dark in color as many believe, but rather brown (as you can see in the pictures).

It is best to avoid buying pine honey from stores, as resellers always mix it! Only a beekeeper provides pure honey, and even if they give you a mixture, it is a blend from the beehive, not processed!
