Organic Çakşır Flower Honey TA18 450g – Eğriçayır

Organic Çakşır Flower Honey TA18 is a 450g jar of honey sourced from the Eğriçayır region, known for its unique floral origins. This honey is produced from the nectar of Çakşır flowers and is certified organic, ensuring a natural and pure product.

The “Çakşır” plant (Ferula Communis), primarily found in the Taurus Mountains in Turkey, is a herbaceous plant that grows to an average height of 1.5 to 2 meters and has yellow flowers. Historically, it was used in beekeeping 3,000 years ago and is known to have been consumed as a natural aphrodisiac in Central Asia.

The plant is rich in ferulic acid, a valuable phenolic compound. It grows at high altitudes where no chemical pesticides are used, and agricultural activities are absent. Bees are attracted to its nectar, but due to its endemic nature, Çakşır honey is very rare. Compared to other floral honeys, Çakşır honey is slightly thinner, with a unique aroma, amber color, and light fruity notes.

Eğriçayır honey is produced in the Eğriçayır Plateau, located approximately 110 km from Erdemli, Mersin, at an altitude of about 2,500 meters. The area is characterized by wild mountain flowers. The honey is certified organic and has won awards, including a gold medal at the Apimondia World Beekeeping Awards.

Eğriçayır follows a strict monitoring and control process for both organic and natural honeys, ensuring traceability from hive to jar. The production sites are carefully selected, and the honey undergoes comprehensive analysis to meet Eğriçayır standards. The company supports organic production and the preservation of local flora and endemic plants.
