Carob Honey

Carob honey is a type of honey known as monoflora, which is formed as a result of bees collecting the nectar of carob trees. Monoflora honey is the name given to honey that bees collect and ripen mostly from a single flower species. Natural carob honey, which is flower honey, has the unique aroma of nectar collected from the carob flower. Carob honey is also known as carob honey and carob honey is made from carob trees.

The carob tree, which grows on its own in rural and non-arable areas of the Mediterranean region, blooms naturally. Although bees mostly collect nectar from these flowers, carob honey also contains the nectar of some wild wildflowers. Marmaris carob honey and Datça carob honey contains the aroma of the wild flowers of that region. In order for carob honey to be of high quality, plenty of sun and mineral-rich arid soil are needed. In regions such as Datça, where summers are hot and the soil is dry in summers, plants try to take up very little water from the soil, but they also take up a lot of minerals from the soil. Since it absorbs less water, it secretes less nectar, but ripe honey has a very thick and rich aroma. Plants that have easy access to water give a lot of nectar, but its content is not full of beneficial minerals, like the nectar given by plants growing in arid soil. Datça carob honey is obtained by our bees making honey from the nectar of carob trees growing in the untouched lands of natural Datça.  Due to the fact that it is produced in small quantities compared to other honeys, Datça carob honey varieties are mostly in small weights.
