EULOGIA OF SPARTA
Pronounced [you-lōh-gee-uh] and directly translated from Greek meaning “blessing.”
Eulogia began in 2012 under the philosophy that specific geo-graphic regions are “blessed” with natural attributes that allow them to cultivate superior quality products due to their climate, terrain, resources and overall natural placement in the world.
Some countries can produce the best coffee beans; others the best wine. In Greece we are truly blessed to be able to produce the world’s best quality olive oil and honey.
All food products speak about “Taste”....
What Now ....?
We need to create a.... new word, to describe the specific “Sense” to these products ....
Premium Raw Greek Honey
Experience ImmortalityIt was raw Greek honey collected near the cave Ideon Andron in Crete that nursed Zeus as an infant as well as honey and nectar given to Apollo’s own son to help him achieve immortality. This Greek honey has remained unchanged and is still being produced by bees scattered all over Greece ranging from remote forests, wild mountainsides and even entire uninhabited islands in the Aegean. Home to more than 6,000 different plant species with roughly 750 being indig-enous, the Greek floral landscape is as dramatic and diverse as its own mythology.
While farm-to-table restaurants may be a relatively new dining concept, bees have been doing this for millions of years. Venturing out from their hives into the vast Greek floral landscape our honeybees search everywhere within a three mile radius for the ingredient to craft their unique honey: Nectar.
Depending on the flower source that the nectar is extracted from ultimately determines its unique flavor characteristics and subtle nuances that set it apart from other honeys; even those produced from a neighboring village. A monofloral honey is produced when there is a predomi-nant flower source within the vicinity of the hive and the majority of the nectar collected by the bees is from the same flower blossoms.
Unlike our winged friends who are limited in their travel distance, we are free to roam all over Greece in order to source and curate the best and most unique honey. Our honeys are unheated and raw in order to maintain all of their health benefits and we’re sure to work with sustainable and ethical beekeepers who treat their bees and the environment with respect.

OUR HONEY AWARDS
Wild Oak HoneyOur brand new Wild Oak Honey has been awarded 3 stars at the prestigious Great Taste Awards, the high-est possible rating. Moreover, it was also selected as one of the Top 50 products of 2015. The secret of this Limited Reserve Honey lies in its production at the virgin mountains of Peloponnese, Greece. It is collected at an altitude of over 1200 me-ters, far from any urban areas, in a place unaltered since the time of ancient Greece. In order to collect this exquisite honey, our producers must hike for up to 9 hours into the mountains to reach their beehives. Because of the demanding production method, this variety of Wild Oak Honey is extremely rare. In ancient times, Greeks believed Oak trees to be blessed with mythical and healing properties. Today, this Wild Oak Honey is considered among the most nutritious honey varieties in the world, one very rich in micronutrients (potassium, magnesium, etc.). This is just one of the many reasons why the Wild Oak Honey is the first choice for the most demanding consumers.

Premium Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Classic Hellenism To walk through the groves of ancient Sparta is to experience a heightened sense of awareness and complete immersion within nature making the senses perk up and come to life like never before. At first one will see a pristine land untouched by modern man as if time itself has ceased to exist here, followed by a calming silence that gently amplifies into the sounds we have selectively removed from our busy day to day lives.
As you walk, you somehow feel lighter than before, unsure if it’s the soft, yet fertile earth that’s pushing back up with each step taken or if you are somewhat intoxicated by all the wonderful smells of the trees and wildflowers that you swear you can almost taste.
There’s still something else lingering there; something that is a bit difficult put in a words other than a ‘sixth sense.’ It’s as if our Greek history, culture and tradition are right there in those very groves, almost palpable and amalgamating with our traditional senses.
Come take a walk with us.
