Turkey is one of the world's great honey countries — and produces the majority of the planet's rare pine honey. From wild karakovan comb honey to dark chestnut and high-plateau blossom honey, this collection brings authentic Anatolian honey and bee products, shipped fresh from Istanbul.
Turkish Honey Varieties
- Karakovan (wild comb honey) — Turkey's most prized honey, made by bees in traditional wooden hives. See Karakovan Honey and Karakovan Chestnut Honey.
- Pine honey (çam balı) — the Aegean specialty; Turkey produces most of the world's supply. Dark, less sweet, rich in minerals. See Organic Pine Honey and Pine Forest Honey.
- Chestnut honey (kestane balı) — from the Black Sea forests, bold and slightly bitter with a strong aroma. See Organic Chestnut Honey.
- Blossom & high-plateau honey (yayla çiçek balı) — light, floral polyfloral honey from Anatolian highland meadows. See Organic Polyfloral Blossom Honey, High-Plateau Blossom Honey and Organic Flower Honey.
- Carob honey (keçiboynuzu balı) — a rare, dark honey with a caramel note. See Organic Carob Honey.

Beyond honey, we carry the full Anatolian bee pantry: propolis throat spray, fresh royal jelly, and honey-pollen-propolis mixes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of Turkish honey are there?
The most sought-after Turkish honeys are karakovan (wild comb honey), pine honey (cam bali), chestnut honey (kestane bali), high-plateau blossom/polyfloral honey (yayla cicek bali), and rarer types like carob (keciboynuzu) and lavender honey.
Why is Turkish pine honey special?
Turkey produces the majority of the world's pine honey, mostly in the Aegean region around Mugla. Pine honey is darker, less sweet than flower honey and rich in minerals, with a long shelf life because it rarely crystallizes.
What is karakovan honey?
Karakovan is traditional Turkish wild comb honey, produced by bees in hollow-log or wooden hives with minimal intervention. It is prized for its purity and full comb structure.
What is polyfloral (blossom) honey?
Polyfloral or blossom honey is gathered from many different wildflowers, typically on Anatolian high plateaus (yayla). It is lighter and more floral than single-source honeys like pine or chestnut.
Is your honey raw and organic?
We carry organic and raw Turkish honeys sourced directly from Anatolian beekeepers. Each product page lists whether it is organic, raw or a special selection.
Do you ship honey worldwide from Turkey?
Yes. All honey and bee products ship worldwide from Istanbul with DHL Express, sealed fresh, usually arriving within a few business days.
