Wax from our own hives
We collect it every spring, when the bees clear out the old comb and start building fresh. It is certified organic, one of the few in Greece, and it goes from the hive straight into the pot in front of you.
Olive oil, and that is the full list
The second ingredient is low acidity extra virgin olive oil from a Cretan grower we know personally. There is no third ingredient. Nothing is added to thicken it, scent it, or keep it sitting on a shelf.
You pour your own jar
You do the melting, the measuring and the pouring, and you leave with the jar you made. You also leave knowing how to make it again at home, with two ingredients you can find anywhere.
THE COURSE
The oldest thing in a Cretan kitchen cupboard
Keraliphi is beeswax and olive oil. That is the entire recipe. No fillers, no fragrance, nothing added to make it look like more than it is. Cretan households kept a jar of it for dry skin, small cuts and the everyday wear of working outdoors, long before anyone thought to sell it.
The wax comes out of our own hives each spring, when the bees clear the old comb and build again. Here you melt it, blend it with extra virgin olive oil, pour your own jar, and take it home with you.
