Carob’s beneficial properties for the digestive system are almost magical. Though the actual mechanism is not really known, the effectiveness of carob against constipation and other digestive malfunctions is very well proved by practice. Carob syrup combined with carob powder (rich in top quality edible fibre) is a very good source of prebiotics as well.

This unique, creamy golden honey is the purest, most nutritious form of honey. 100% raw, it is the honey that comes directly from the honeycomb without heating, without filtering or any kind of processing. It is the healthiest choice among the various forms of honey as it has the most nutritional value and contains amylase, an enzyme concentrated in flower pollen which helps predigest starchy foods like breads.

Since ancient times, raw honey has been known to have numerous health benefits and healing properties. Its high antioxidant content is beneficial in supporting enzyme activity in the body, and it’s amino acids are natures building blocks of protein. The flavanoids found in raw honey also give a healthy boost of energy. Additionally, raw honey much like vegetables, contains phytonutrients which provide anti-inflammatory benefits. As honey is produced from plants, it also has these phytonutrients. These valuable nutrients are unique to raw honey and disappear when honey is heavily processed.

Mellona’s wonderful raw honey comes from blossoms of scented Mediterranean flora such as Myrophora (wild Cyprus lavender), Spatzia (sage), and orange blossom. It is creamy, spreadable, and has an exquisite flavour and fine aroma. The fact that it is unprocessed, without using any heat, means that it retains all of its intended nutritional benefits such as it’s antioxidants, amino acids, minerals & vitamins as well as helping with digestion & also being a very good anti-fungal.

About Mellona

Mellona didn’t start as a brand. It started from the land. My father grew up in a rural village and worked the land himself. He understood what it takes to grow something properly - the time, the patience, the uncertainty.

Cyprus is a small island, but it shapes its food in a unique way. Strong sun, dry soil, and a constant sea breeze. Ingredients don’t grow easily, but when they do, they carry depth, character, and are dense in essential nutrients.

Honey was at the centre of it. Not just as a product, but as something alive, complex and already complete in its natural form. We don’t try to change that. We build on it. By combining raw honey with natural, unprocessed ingredients, superfoods, superfruits, herbs, and spices, we enhance what is already there, adding layers of flavour and nutritional value without taking anything away.

That’s where our belief comes from; food, when left unprocessed and as nature intended, serves its original purpose better, nourishing the body with what it actually needs to live a healthy, balanced, and happy life. We believe food doesn’t need to be engineered, it needs to be respected. We don’t heat our honey. We don’t strip ingredients down. We don’t alter their natural structure.

We continue to work close to the land, using real ingredients from our region, respecting their nature, and keeping our processes as minimal as possible. We’re not trying to reinvent food. We’re simply trying to keep it real.
