PINE TREE
Pine Tree honey (sometimes also known as forest honey, fir honey,
honeydew or tea tree honey) consists of the majority of the total
honey production in Greece. It is not particularly sweet, tastes a
little bitter, has a strong aroma, and is relatively rich in minerals
and proteins. It is rather resistant to crystallization.
