Georgian Food Souvenirs
Leaving Georgia and not sure what to bring home? The most honest souvenir is one you can eat. We have gathered products from across the country: honey from apiaries in Kakheti, Racha, Imereti, Javakheti and Tori, churchkhela and pastila, tea from Guria and Adjara, Svan salt and Megrelian adjika. Everything packs small and travels well in a suitcase.
Each product belongs to a specific region, and that is not marketing: chestnut honey from Racha tastes as distinct from Imeretian acacia honey as Imeretian corn-flour churchkhela does from the Kakhetian wheat-flour version. Delivery across Tbilisi in 2 hours — order the evening before your flight.
Georgian Honey
Georgian Honey →Five varieties from five regions, 300 g each. Kakheti wildflower — multi-herb, changing with the season. Javakheti creamed honey — velvety and spreadable. Tori pine honeydew — woody and resinous rather than floral. Racha chestnut — dark, with a signature light bitterness. Imereti acacia — pale, delicate, slow to crystallise.
Churchkhela & Pastila
Churchkhela & Pastila →Kakheti churchkhela with walnuts — dense, made on wheat-flour tatara. Imeretian with hazelnuts — slim, made with corn flour, in a gift box. Apple, prune and tkemali pastila — concentrated fruit with no added sugar.
Georgian Tea
Georgian Tea →Black with pomegranate from Guria and green with jasmine from Adjara, both in gift packs. Western Georgia is historically tea country: its humid subtropical climate suits the tea bush as well as the east suits the vine.
Spices & Seasonings
Spices & Seasonings →Svan salt — garlic, mountain herbs and spices including gitsruli. Megrelian adjika from Zugdidi — hot, though the heat is not the point so much as the layered aroma. Plus a spice gift box if you want to try several at once.
Postcards
Postcards →Landscapes and city views from Svaneti to Adjara: Ushguli, the Alazani valley, Batumi, Gergeti against Kazbegi, old Tbilisi. Singly or as a set of five — the set is better value.
Frequently asked questions
Can I take Georgian honey on a plane?
Aviation rules treat honey as a liquid, so a 300 g jar will not pass hand-luggage screening (100 ml per container). In checked baggage there is no limit. Check import rules at your destination — the EU restricts animal products from non-member countries.
How long does churchkhela keep?
Churchkhela is dried and keeps for months at room temperature in a dry place, as does pastila. These were designed as long-keeping foods — a way to preserve the grape and fruit harvest until the next season.
My honey crystallised — has it gone bad?
No. Crystallisation is natural for real honey and its speed depends on the nectar. Acacia stays liquid longest; chestnut and wildflower thicken sooner.
What should I pick as a gift if I do not know the person’s taste?
A spice box or gift-packed tea suits almost anyone. Among honeys, acacia is the safest choice — mild and without bitterness. For something sweet, boxed Imeretian churchkhela travels best.
