Artisanal Thyme Honey – Bee Mine, La Travina
The great aromatic jewel of the Mediterranean
The Bee Mine Artisanal Thyme Honey – Mieles La Travina is one of the most highly regarded varieties in Spanish gourmet beekeeping. Naturally made from the nectar of wild thyme flowers from the Valencian Community, this honey captures all the intensity, aromatic richness, and authenticity of the Mediterranean landscape.
With its deep amber color and intense aroma, it offers a warm, complex, slightly herbal flavor, with an elegant, persistent finish that makes it a truly unique honey.
A premium honey for those seeking authentic, natural products full of character.
Artisanal production in the heart of Alto Turia
Behind Bee Mine are Mario and Alberto Sánchez Herrero, third-generation beekeepers from Aras de los Olmos, a privileged area located in the Alto Turia Biosphere Reserve.
With more than 20 years of experience, they have turned artisanal beekeeping into a way of life based on respect for bees, sustainability, and product excellence.
The honey is obtained through fully artisanal processes, using the traditional multi-tier hive system learned in Argentina and perfected over the years to preserve all the honey’s purity and natural properties.
Extraction is carried out carefully in a clean, contamination-free environment, ensuring a raw, natural honey full of nuance.
