The richness and diversity of Slovenia's plant world are reflected in the scent, colour, and aroma of Slovenski med z zaščiteno geografsko označbo (Slovenian honey with Protected Geographical Indication). The combination of different climates and the geographical terrain create unique conditions for honey production, resulting in a wide variety of honey types found here.
Kočevski gozdni med z zaščiteno označbo porekla (Kočevje Forest Honey with Protected Designation of Origin) is produced in the woodlands of the Kočevje region, which ranks among the best preserved area in Europe due to its unspoilt nature and which is renowned for its highly wooded terrain. 95% of the Kočevje woods are comprised of forest trees, which leave a profound mark on the Kočevski gozdni med (Kočevje Forest Honey).
Its richer and more distinct aroma is shaped by special Karst plants and dry climate. The Kraški med z zaščiteno označbo porekla (Karst Honey with Protected Designation of Origin) is thus more aromatic and riper than other types of honey.
