In the present study, the effect of different parameters on the correct geographical differentiation of Greek fir honey was investigated. Forty-three honey samples were collected from four regions and subjected to physicochemical and melissopalynological analyses, using official and instrumental methods. Results showed that fir honeys met the European regulatory quality standards, whereas significant differences (p < 0.05) were recorded for all the determined parameters according to geographical origin. The highest differentiation rate (81.4%) was recorded using the combination of six physicochemical parameters and five phenolic compounds, as assessed by multivariate analyses.
