Straight from the legendary island of Crete comes this exceptional creamy honey by Athitakis — one of Greece's most respected family honey producers. Made from nectar collected by bees feasting on wild thyme blossoms and indigenous Cretan herbs, this 450 g jar delivers a rich, spreadable texture and a deep, complex aroma that sets it apart from ordinary honeys. Cold-processed to preserve every natural enzyme and antioxidant, it is as wholesome as it is delicious.

Why This Honey Is Special

Wild Cretan thyme: Thyme honey is widely regarded as among the finest in the world — bolder, more aromatic, and richer in antioxidants than standard flower honey.
Creamy texture: Naturally crystallised through a gentle controlled process, making it perfectly spreadable straight from the jar without being runny.
Pure & traceable: No additives, no blending with imported honeys — just authentic Cretan craftsmanship in every spoonful.
Versatile format: The 450 g jar is ideal for daily home use and makes a beautiful gift for food lovers.

How to Enjoy It

The classic Greek breakfast: Swirl generously over thick yoghurt or warm toast and pair with a cup of Bagatzounis Greek Mountain Tea Bundle 40g for an authentic Cretan morning ritual.
Sweet & savoury combos: Drizzle over a cheese board or use as a glaze for roasted vegetables — a perfect contrast to a sharp splash of Mari Greek Red Wine Vinegar 400 ml in dressings.
Sweets & spreads: Stir into Haitoglou Makedoniko Tahini with Honey 350 g for a double-honey spread, or serve alongside Haitoglou Makedonikos Halvas with Honey 400 g as a traditional Greek dessert platter.
Natural remedy & wellness: Stir a spoonful into warm water with a squeeze of Mari Greek Lemon Juice 99.9% 1 L for a soothing daily tonic.

Cretan Honey & Lemon Dressing for a Greek Salad: Whisk together 2 tablespoons of Athitakis creamy thyme honey with 3 tablespoons of Mari Greek Lemon Juice 99.9% 1 L, a pinch of dried oregano, and a splash of Mari Greek Red Wine Vinegar 400 ml. Drizzle over crisp lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and feta for a bright, sweet-tangy salad dressing that brings the flavours of Crete straight to your table. Serve with warm bread and a cup of Bagatzounis Greek Mountain Tea Bundle 40g to finish.

FAQ

What is Cretan thyme honey and why is it considered special?

Cretan thyme honey is produced by bees that collect nectar primarily from wild thyme plants growing across the rugged hills of Crete. It is celebrated worldwide for its intensely aromatic flavour, rich golden colour, and high antioxidant content. Greece is the world's leading producer of thyme honey, and Crete in particular is prized for the purity and quality of its bee pastures.

How do I use creamy honey — is it different from liquid honey?

Creamy honey has been gently crystallised into a thick, spreadable consistency, making it much easier to use on toast, bread, or pastries without dripping. It can be used in exactly the same ways as liquid honey — in teas, dressings, marinades, or baking — and many people prefer the texture for everyday use. Simply scoop with a spoon; no heating required.
