the best olive oil in the world comes from Istra region in Croatia, of course, small villages, old olive oil makers that don't compromise. for honey the region doesn't matter that much, it's more important how the beekeeper works. the turkish called it land of blood and honey because they tried for centuries to conquer it for it's natural resources but had a very hard time doing so
Are you from Croatia?

agree, the best stuff comes from people making for themselves or out of persevering the traditional instead of massive produce and heavily branded .

I think both matters, flowers - bee - human hand 👀

exactly

true, as long as the bees are not contaminated or weak - and this the beekeeper controls - the honey is good. to me it does not matter wich flowers the bees make honey of, as long as the bees don't come into contact with pollutants or herbicides and the beekeeper knows how to manage strong colonies that don't depend on chemicals and sugar

It's funny that you really need to do the WORK to find these people now - great quality and usually with a fair price.
Yet many people work so hard then to buy those being branded or marketed so hard products, and usually expensive while most of them are just average inside if not full of chemicals.
