Description: Elvish honey is also known as Peri Bali or Fairy honey. The production course in a unique natural environment, with specific temperatures and moistness, along with the endemic and medicinal flora neighboring the caves. Those factors contribute to the honey's rich nutritional profile, which is high in antioxidants, proline, polyphenols, flavonoids, potassium, and magnesium.
Beneficial content of Elvish honey
This very sporadic honey is also noted for its potential character in enhancing physical durability and energy levels. Some users have reported improved sexual activity and virility. This is partly attributed to its beneficial content of chrysin. Chrysin is a compound that prevents the conversion of testosterone into estrogen, and its ability to pointedly boost nitric oxide levels in the bloodstream, which is related to enhanced erectile function.
Furthermore, it has been studied that elvish honey contains touches of grayanotoxane, a mild, naturally occurring compound that can have psychoactive effects if consumed in excess, making it potentially a little perilous in large quantities.
No other honey has such purity
Elvish honey is multiflora and golden in color. Its production is nominal, with only around 25 kilograms harvested in the first few years ago, making it one of the rarest honeys in the world. Due to its purity, rarity and attributed possessions, its price is extremely high and available in limited quantities.
Internal acknowledgement
The Elvish honey has received international acknowledgement, winning the "World's Best Honey" award at the World Apiculture Congress (WAC) in 2009.
Its exclusiveness and value have attracted collectors, haute cuisine chefs, and those interested in natural and healing products with high nutritional and medicinal content. Despite its high cost, its making remains an laborious process that requires the assistance of specialized speleologists and climbers to access the depths of the caves.

Facts You Didn't Know About Elvish Honey
Pure normal honey is one of those products we usually have at home, but we consume it very slowly, which means it stays in our pantries for a long time. However, Elvish honey is so sporadic that not that many people consume it on a regular basis.
We have to keep in mind that honey has a "best before" date, but not an expiration date, so honey doesn't expire. However, it's recommended to consume it preferably within two years of harvesting to obtain all its properties and continue enjoying quality honey.
Why does honey last so long? It lasts so long because of its low water content (between 17% and 18%), which hinders the proliferation of microorganisms. Another factor that complicates the development of harmful bacteria is honey's acidic ph. And finally, honey's antimicrobial compounds, which have antifungal and antibacterial properties, prevent it from deteriorating excessively over time.
Honey is usually found in liquid form, but it can also be solid or semi-solid, such as crystallized honey. For many, crystallized Elvish honey might be a sign of spoilage; however, when this occurs, it's a guarantee that the product hasn't been adulterated by excessive heating.
Therefore, it retains all its natural properties. Honeys have a greater or lesser tendency to crystallize depending on their chemical composition. Honey with less water and more solutes crystallizes more easily.
