Slavonia is known as the cradle of Croatian apiculture which dates as far back as the Roman times, while the first beekeeping association was founded in the region's county seat Osijek in 1879. Thanks to such long tradition, Slavonia boasts one of the best honeys Croatia has to offer.
Today, more than 400 registered beekeepers annually produce more than 200 tonnes of high quality honey. In terms of taste, Slavonian honey carries flavors from the region's numerous meadows and dense forests, and boasts a strong floral aroma. The most typical types of Slavonian honey include oil rape and sunflower honey, then lime tree honey, chestnut and meadow honey.
