From the highlands of Trabzon to your table
We carry forward, with great devotion and love, the journey our grandfather began in the highlands of Trabzon.
We take pride in bringing the healing gifts of Türkiye's most treasured regions — above all Trabzon, Artvin, Muğla, and Konya — drawn from their precious endemic flowers and trees, to your table unblended and in their most natural form.
We carry out our work, and will continue to, with a consciousness of preserving our country's values, prioritizing human health, and acting honestly and ethically.
A family legacy
This story began years ago, in the highlands of Trabzon. We carry forward, with the same care, the journey our grandfather began out of respect for nature and hard work. For us, honey isn't just a product — it's a responsibility passed down through generations.
A journey that began in Trabzon
What began in Trabzon has, over time, extended to other treasured regions of Türkiye. Today, İlyas Kurt brings together honey shaped by the distinct flora of Trabzon, Artvin, Muğla, and Konya — each carrying the mark of its own geography.
The different regions of Türkiye
Honey gathered with the same care from four different landscapes — each carrying the mark of its own flora and climate.
01Trabzon
The land where our grandfather's honey journey began. The high plateaus and chestnut forests of the Black Sea are also the source of our chestnut honey.
Chestnut Honey02Artvin
Neighboring Trabzon within the same Black Sea belt, Artvin's humid highland slopes extend the same chestnut forest sourcing.

03Muğla
The high-altitude pine forests of the Aegean are the source of our pine honey — the heart of Türkiye's pine honey production.

04Konya
The untouched highland flora of Central Anatolia is the source of our wildflower honey — where dozens of wild flower species meet.
Wildflower HoneyWhat we're working toward
Our vision is to carry this rich honey heritage of Türkiye's lands to far more people over time. We want to take the story of pine, wildflower, and chestnut honey a little further with every new jar — and to offer a small, genuine contribution to keeping the ancient bond between bees and nature alive for generations to come.
Unblended
No sugar supplementation, no mixing. What's in the jar is what came out of the hive.
Traceable
Every product knows which region and which harvest it came from.
In Season
Each variety is harvested during its own bloom, in limited quantity.
How we work
Our mission is to deliver natural honey without altering it in any way, to honor the labor of our beekeepers, to make every product's source traceable, and to build an honest, quality-driven, and trustworthy relationship with our customers — all while prioritizing the protection of natural resources.
From hive to jar
- 01
Hive
Bees range freely across the region's flora — no intervention, no sugar supplementation.
- 02
Harvest
Combs are taken by hand, only once ripe, in season.
- 03
Straining
Cold-strained without heat treatment, preserving the honey's natural enzymes.
- 04
Jarring
Every batch is logged with the region and date it was harvested.
