What is Peri Bali Honey?

Question

TasteAtlas · Accepted Answer

Peri Bali is an extremely expensive Turkish honey originating from the mountains of Saricayir Dagi from Artvin province. The honey is extremely rare – it's harvested and extracted from the high walls of a cave, thus being incapable of being reproduced. In 2009, a Turkish beekeeper Günay Gündüz harvested 18 kilograms of this honey with the help of professional climbers. It has high amounts of minerals due to the surrounding cave, so the price for one kilogram began at 45,000 Euros. Nowadays, there's still a bit of honey left, but the price is unknown and probably much higher than the beginning one. The honey is also called elvish honey or fairy honey, due to the high altitudes on which it was harvested, the rainy and cold weather, and the different air, temperature, and humidity in the cave.
