The Heather Honey is collected from the nectar dews of the autumn heather which is known as “sousoura”-(Erica verticillata) and it is extremely stimulating for the bees. A successful flowering is equivalent to a second spring for the hives! In France the Heather Honey and also the honey of Chestnut and Lavender are considered the best. The famous French gingerbread is made exclusively with Heather Honey.
After harvesting, the honey is carefully filtered and packed directly into glass jars in our modern facilities. Then it is stored in a dark, dry place at low temperature ready to be released for consumption. The rich Greek nature coupled with the diligence of the family Fasilis give out an excellent product.
Keep in a cool, dry, dark and odorless place (< 15°C for long storage period). The heather honey crystallizes very quickly. The crystallization of the honey is a natural process that depends only on its plant origin. It returns to its original state with moderate heat. (bain-marie).

FASILIS COMPANY founded in 1930.
You may already know a lot about bees or maybe you only know the basics. For example, you know how many factors contribute to the collection and production of honey? Or why the Greek honey is considered one of the best on the planet?
Or even that every year the same apiary at the same time will produce a little honey or very different than last year depending on what flowers favoured by the weather of the year. In this respect HONEY is a bit like wine.
They can have "cellar" buying different kinds of honey and educating our palates even honey in the same category but different year if we keep in proper conditions.
