Stayia produces several exciting, healthful (and some would say exotic) types of quality Greek honey, such as Vityna fir honey with vanilla, heather honey and several local wild-forest honeys inventively combined with ingredients like Royal Jelly and fresh pollen, Tibetan Goji berry, lavender, honeycomb or Chios mastic. The producers also hit the luxury gourmet market jackpot by making a thyme honey with 24k and edible gold, something that has never been done before anywhere in the world. Despite the use of gold leaf in food being both historical (Elizabethan royalty decorated their tables with gold leaf, while the Japanese made sake with gold) and a modern food trend (champagne and olive oil, as well as desserts), gold leaf is also considered to have numerous health benefits, like the honey itself, which Hippocrates prescribed for many internal and external ailments. On the more solid side, the producers use their honey to make “pasteli”, a Greek staple food that combines iron-rich sesame seeds with rich honey.

Beyond their (sparkling) magical honey pots, Stayia Farm also make another product that Greeks have millennia of expertise in producing, an extra virgin olive oil called Vasilissa (queen). All the products are organically certified by BioHellas and free of chemical herbicides, pesticides and other nasty stuff most non-organically grown products are unfortunately full of today.
