Pine honey (Geusi Vounou, 450 g)
Geusi Vounou Organic Pine Honey is a Greek honeydew honey made from honeydew found in pine forests. It has a darker colour, a smooth to thicker consistency and a fuller woodland flavour with milder sweetness than many blossom honeys.
Its less floral profile pairs well with dark bread, yoghurt, porridge, nuts, hard cheeses, baked fruit and spiced desserts. Its flavour remains noticeable alongside stronger ingredients.
In savoury cooking, use it in marinades, glazes and salad dressings. Combining the honey with vinegar, mustard, lemon juice or seasoning creates a balanced sweet-and-sour base.
How to use
- Bread and breakfast – add it to bread, yoghurt, quark or porridge, or drizzle it over fruit and nuts.
- Cheese – serve it with hard, mature, sheep’s or goat’s cheeses.
- Baking – use it in gingerbread, biscuits, fruit pies and spiced doughs.
- Marinades and glazes – mix it with vinegar, mustard, citrus juice, oil and seasoning.
For cold sauces, first blend it into the acidic ingredient, then add the oil gradually. When sweetening drinks, stir in the honey once the drink has partly cooled.
