Produced in the districts of Gortynia and Mantineia in the Arcadia prefecture, Meli Elatis Menalou Vanilia is the first Greek honey acknowledged by the European Union as a protected product. At least 80% of this honey comes from black fir, while the rest is mixed flower honey. This world famous product owns the 'vanilia' name to its color that can be described as being between pearly white to caramel. The honey is not collected from the blossoms, but rather honeydew produced by microorganisms on the trunk of the black fir. It has a humidity degree of approximately 15% and a sugar content varying between 8% and 18% which keep it from crystallizing, even after many years. It has a great nutritional value since it contains many minerals such as potassium, magnesium and iron, and vitamins that promote better sugar absorption by the human body. This product is also valued for its subtle sweetness and aroma of butterscotch. It is one of the rarest products in the world because the manufacturing of this exquisite honey takes time and money as the honeycomb must be destroyed. For this reason, the amount produced is limited and Meli Elatis Menalou Vaniliais is usually sold out even before the production started. It can be used as a sweetener, or as an ingredient in many recipes.Expand
