Honey from Heather by Kopelia is a monofloral honey derived from the nectar of wild heather plants that grow in the mountainous and semi-wild areas of Crete. Heather honey is known for its darker color and dense texture, reflecting the botanical origin and mineral-rich environment in which the plants develop.
It is considered one of the more distinctive types of Mediterranean honey, often associated with a stronger and more complex flavor profile than lighter floral varieties. In sensory terms, this honey typically shows a rich, aromatic character with pronounced herbal notes and a slightly bitter edge that differentiates it from sweeter honeys such as thyme. The flavor can include earthy, woody, and lightly caramelized nuances, with a persistent aftertaste.
The texture is thicker and more structured, sometimes slightly gelatinous, which is characteristic of heather honey.
