“Diva Gora” Honey
“Diva Gora” is a beekeeping brand by Kristina Brankovanova and Encho Enev, created in the heart of the Eastern Rhodopes. The brand offers raw honey, extracted from the nectar of wild herbs and from oak moss in old forests located within the Natura 2000 network. The honey is collected in hard-to-reach, wild terrain – without the use of pesticides, without intensive farming and with minimal human intervention. Beekeeping here is done manually, with attention to natural rhythms and wild pollinators. The process is slow and laborious, but the result is honey with high added value – not only in terms of taste and quality, but also as an ethical choice that supports the local economy and contributes to the preservation of biodiversity. “Diva Gora” is not just a trademark, but a cause – for clean food, for sustainable beekeeping and for harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
