Additional Information

The Churchkhela and honey from Manavi are distinctive because of the traditional and craftsmanship techniques employed in their creation, a legacy nurtured by generations of Georgian agriculturalists and apiculturists. Sited in the bountiful province of Kakheti in Georgia, which is appreciated for its viticulture and farming output, Manavi’s locale contributes to the excellent quality and distinct taste of their produce. The production of Manavi honey involves local beekeepers who adhere to conventional practices, steering clear of pesticides or other synthetic substances.
