b) Climatology of Teide

Tenerife is exceptional in that it offers a vast range of climates, from a coastal to a high-altitude one. Furthermore, it holds numerous microclimates that support a vast range of different plant life. For this reason there is a great diversity of monofloral honeys here.

Tenerife is home to the great Teide volcano and the mountain ranges that run through all the Canary Islands. These high reliefs contain the highest peak in Spain, 3718 meters above sea level.

Within the same island, there are significant temperature differences and distinct climates due to these geographical features and significant height variations. Here, we have subtropical climates in the mountain foothills, desert climates along the coast, and volcanic landscapes inside the volcano’s volcanic cone. In this last zone is the Teide National Park.

This wide range of climates and the protection of these passages by the Teide National Park, provides magnificent conditions for the development of beekeeping. As a consequence, unique honeys are obtained which are protected by the Honey of Tenerife Denomination of Origin.

2. Where to buy honey from Tenerife?

Tenerife honey is difficult to find, as it is difficult to bring to the peninsula by customs and tariffs. Therefore, there are very few shops that bother and bring these honeys so spectacular and unique.

However, in our shop in Las Rozas in Madrid you have at your disposal Tenerife honey.

3. Price of honey from Tenerife

The price of honey from Tenerife is usually much higher than the rest of the honeys from Spain. There are two main reasons for this.

Firstly, honey from Tenerife is in great demand and its production is very scarce, which has the effect of increasing its price.

Another reason for higher prices is due to customs problems. Since the Canary Islands are part of the Spanish territory, it is not easy to bring them to the peninsula, as they have to go through customs clearance and high over-added costs.

4. Frequently asked questions

Finally, here are some frequently asked questions that we often receive.

  • Does it take a long time to replenish the honey?
