About Us<\/strong><\/p>\n Honey is a natural healthy food with great nutritional value and the major sweetener component of the Mediterranean diet. The Greek and especially Cretan honey are unique. The individuality of the Greek terrain, the rare variation of herbs, trees, and shrubs (more than 2000 varieties), as well as the long summer, shaped an ideal environment to produce high-quality honey.<\/p>\n Honey cultivation and production are closely related to the 4.000+ years of Cretan history. The famous Gold Bee pendant \u2013 a masterpiece of Minoan art \u2013 representing two bees storing away honey in a honeycomb, is dated back to 1800-1700 BC.<\/p>\n Honey is the central ingredient for all cretamel<\/strong> products. Cretan<\/strong> honey (\u201cmeli<\/strong>\u201d in Greek).<\/p>\n Our honey is selected exclusively from experienced beekeepers and the varieties offered by the Greek terrain: flowers, thyme, pine, orange tree flowers and wild herbs.<\/p>\n History<\/strong><\/p>\n 1996 – Cretamel was founded by Rassoulis Bros on the island of Crete in Greece, utilizing the family\u2019s tradition and know-how in honey production and processing.<\/p>\n 2000 – We created a new series of traditional Greek products, including nougat, honey & sesame bars (pasteli), honey & nut bars, halva and other delights, all related to our precious Cretan honey.<\/p>\n 2017 – Relocation in our new, fresh and modern manufacturing facilities in Heraklion, Crete. With a total surface of almost 9,000 m2 on three floors, our state-of-the-art building designed to operate under strict European regulations, ensuring high-quality products.<\/p>\n 2018-2020 –
