The Alabasinis Honey Cream is a masterpiece of artisanal Greek apiculture, offering a luxurious, velvet-smooth alternative to traditional liquid honey. Often referred to as "creamed" or "spun" honey, this premium product is crafted through a meticulous, cold-temperature churning process that controls natural crystallization.
Rather than allowing the honey to form large, gritty sugar crystals, this craftsmanship guides it into a micro-crystallized state. The result is a thick, spreadable, and pearlescent cream that stays perfectly on your knife or spoon without a single drip. 250G
100% Raw and Pure: Despite its name, "Honey Cream" contains zero dairy, artificial thickeners, or additives. It is made entirely of pure, premium Greek honey.
No-Drip Convenience: Because it has a rich, spreadable consistency like softened butter, it is incredibly clean to use. It won't run off the sides of your toast, slide off pastries, or pool at the bottom of a dessert plate.
Enhanced Aroma: The churning process incorporates microscopic air bubbles, which lightly diffuses the natural, delicate fragrance of wild Mediterranean flora, making the floral notes hit your palate instantly.
Alabasinis Honey Cream is highly versatile, acting as both a decadent spread and a finishing element for high-end desserts:
The Ultimate Breakfast Spread: Slather it generously over warm croissants, toasted brioche, or fresh sourdough. Unlike liquid honey, which absorbs quickly into hot bread, Honey Cream sits beautifully on the surface, delivering a rich, melting sweetness with every bite.
Charcuterie & Fruit Boards: Serve a bowl of this creamed honey alongside fresh sliced figs, green apples, pear wedges, and sharp cheeses like Manchego, aged Gouda, or salty Greek Graviera.
Dessert Decoration & Fillings: Use it as a natural, elegant glaze for tarts and pastries, or layer it between thin crepes. It can also be gently folded into whipped cream or mascarpone cheese to create an effortless, gourmet dessert filling.
The Perfect Glaze: Pair a spoonful of this smooth creamed honey with your Koronitz Mustard with Currants Dressing to create a thick, stable marinade for roasted duck breast or pork medallions.
| Characteristic | What to Expect |
| Consistency | Smooth, thick, and fully spreadable at room temperature. It has a luxurious "mouthfeel" that melts smoothly on the tongue without any graininess. |
| Purity Standards | Completely unadulterated and free from additives. The natural enzymes, antioxidants, and trace pollens of the wild Greek landscape are fully preserved through careful cold-processing. |
| Temperature Sensitivity | To maintain its perfect velvety texture, store this jar in a cool pantry (ideally between 60°F and 70°F). If it gets too warm, it may soften back into a liquid; if stored in a cold refrigerator, it will become firm like cold butter. |
