DRINK AT THE SOURCE

The essence of Sparta in every drop

During the sacred rhythm of the olive harvest, the same handwoven bags and baskets from another era are filled with olives. Our grandparents used no nets, they picked the olives right off the ground, wounding their hands on stones. Our family still collects the olives by hand, we tend to the trees individually, and this has a positive bearing on the olive oil. Old rhythms perdure…

NOMADIC BEEKEEPING

A unique creation

Each of our honey is a unique story, an ever-changing desire of the bees. It is imagined, tailored and assembled by Nature itself and marks seasonal transformation. Awakening our senses with mesmerising colours and intricate textures, it is the purest signature of Nature. Each bee is an artisan, infusing scents, amplifying floral harmonies. 

Wild ecosystems

Every harvest depends on the quality of the ecosystem that surrounds it – wild forests and ecosystems are our home. We are nomad beekeepers looking for ideal conditions for our bees, and how far they travel to their food source. Our honeys are cultivated using traditional methods, artisanal love and care on carefully chosen fields and the result is a variety of pine, thyme, flowers & conifers honey flying around the flavour wheel in complex wonderful tastes: nutty, fruity, fresh – perfect from breakfast time to after dinner tea.
