GURIAN HONEY VARIETIES

Linden, mixed forest, alpine meadow — meet the distinct varieties of Gurian honey.

In Gurian honey, every flower of Chokhatauri, every tree blossom, every wild species lives simultaneously — it is the flavour-history of a botanical landscape.

Chokhatauri's botanical diversity is directly reflected in its honey varieties. The most delicate — linden (Tilia) honey — is pale and crystalline with subtle vanilla notes. Linden trees grow in every Gurian village, and peak linden blossom occurs in June.

Forest honey is altogether different — dark, strong, with resinous notes. This honey carries the richest antioxidant content and is considered medicinally valuable in local folk medicine.

Meadow/alpine honey, coming from the Bakhmaro environs, has the most polyfloral composition. This honey contains the nectar of thousands of flowers and reflects the richness of Bakhmaro's alpine meadows.

Interesting fact

Gurian linden honey is among the highest-priced varieties on specialist European markets — in recent years it has appeared on the German natural products market.
