Discover the Most Famous Mad Honey From Antiquity Turkish mad honey, known as Deli Bal in the local language, is found primarily in the Black Sea region of Eastern Turkey. It has a long, documented history that crosses several continents and countless diverse cultures. It was well-known among luminaries in the ancient Greek and Roman worlds. In the 17th century, a brisk trade developed between the Turks and Europe, with Europeans happily adding what they called Miel Fou, or “crazy honey,” to their morning toast and evening ale. Today, mad honey connoisseurs seek Turkish honey for its purity, potency, and deep roots to our human past. This decadent honey is commonly used to treat depression and anxiety, stress, sleep disturbances, stomach ailments, and hypertension and for general pain relief.
