Melisokomiki Dodekanissou (Dodecanese Apiary) was founded in 1999 on the island of Rhodes, Aegean Islands, collaborating with more than 70 beekeepers from across the island group. The largest apiary products production and standardisation company in the Dodecanese, it uses state-of-the-art facilities to produce exceptional Aegean honey as well as the traditional sweet of Rhodes — the beloved melekouni — made from honey, sesame, and almonds according to an ancient island recipe.
