Egriçayir Organic Carob Honey's name comes from the carob flowers that have survived from Roman times.
Because our honey produced from carob flowers is a flower honey, it has the distinct aroma of the carob flower and is highly appreciated.
Carob flowers are not cultivated.
The carob flower is one of the trees and flowers of the completely natural flora that has existed for 5-6 centuries.
It is produced in the autumn.
Certified organic.
(See our organic certificate and analysis results) Good honey, genuine honey. We know that you, like everyone else, are looking for good honey, genuine honey.
We have been keeping traditional beekeeping alive on the 2,500-meter-high Egriçayir Plateau for 300 years.
This region of the Taurus Mountains preserves its natural flora just as it did thousands of years ago.
Our bees, which feed on the rich flora of the Taurus Mountains, comprised of wild flowers, offer us award-winning organic Egriçayir honey.
Therefore, our most important difference is the region where our hives are located.
Secondly, our family has 300 years of experience in beekeeping, living in the Yörük culture.
All of our products are certified organic and have won numerous awards, including gold medals, from the world's most prestigious beekeeping competitions.
It's quite difficult to distinguish good honey from genuine, authentic honey using your own resources.
Therefore, it's crucial to find honey from a known source and a producer you can trust.
You can visit us at the Egriçayir Plateau or in Erdemli whenever you like.
We're always waiting.
We'd like to briefly tell you about Egriçayir.
Our hives are located in the Egriçayir region, where we were born and raised and where we spent our childhood.
Egriçayir Plateau is approximately 110 km from the Erdemli district of Mersin.
Due to the high altitude (approximately 2,500 meters), the flora in this region consists solely of wild wildflowers.
Thanks to this magnificent floral flora, we've won awards in all the competitions we've participated in abroad, and our organic flower honey was awarded a gold medal at Apimondia, the world's most prestigious beekeeping competition.
We are proud of both our family and our country for the awards received by Egriçayir products. We are delighted to be able to bring this rare miracle, produced many kilometers away at an altitude of 2,500 meters, to you.
What do we want to do? We produce our products organically, and we want and support the expansion of organic production and organic farming.
We believe in preserving our local culture and values, and we want to protect the endemic plants and natural flora in both our region and our country.
We are working towards this goal.
We are confident in the quality of our honey and products. We share with you not only standard analyses but also the most detailed analysis results from the Ministry of Agriculture and independent auditing organizations. We want you to be accurately informed.
We want our honey and products to be recognized worldwide and for it to be said that "the best honey produced in the world is in Turkey, in Egirçayir," and we are working towards this goal.
