Also, it would be an opportunity to express your appreciation to Antonio for the amazing honey he and his bees have been producing for us.
We've been getting honey from Antonio Simon for over 10 years now. He was our first organic beekeeper.
(Here he is with Carmen, not a great photo but the only one I have. This was at an organic fair in Madrid on a freezing November day a couple of years ago.)
Antonio is a pioneer of organic beekeeping in Spain, a real expert who cares deeply about the bees and the quality of his honey. I don't know of any other beekeeper who produces such a wide range of organic honey and has such attention to detail.
More than this, he is a lovely guy, really kind and considerate - and very helpful.
Right now he's brought his son-in-law Ruben into the business, I guess with the plan of handing over to him eventually.
Anyway....
I phoned up his office recently and was told that he was away on honeymoon - he had and his partner Carmen had only gone and got married.
Lots of our customers know and love Antonio's honey and I thought it would be really nice if we sent him and Carmen a congratulations card - and also expressed our gratitude to him for his honey.
Would you consider writing a message to Antonio and Carmen? We will print out all the messages and include them in a card that we're going to send to them along with a present.
Here's the link. Just write your message in the box on the form and include your name, so they know who the message is from. Don't worry about the message being in English, Carmen speaks English and Antonio understands a fair amount.
Three generations of beekeepers have produced Luisa's Wilderness Honey Gift Box - some of the most beautiful Organic honeys from Asturias, northern Spain. Olaya talks about their approach and their passion for working in a way that respects nature, producing honey that is raw, organic, and packed with life. Asturias, with its rugged mountains and thick forests, is perfectly suited to beekeeping. The family keep their hives high in the mountains, and each member plays their part.
Raw Organic Acacia Honey is a real Hungarian specialty, as there are more Acacia Forests in Hungary than the rest of Europe combined. It has a relatively low glycemic index, therefore it is more suited for those who can be sensitive to sugar for different reasons. This also means the honey stays in a pristine-looking, runny state for a long time, like a clear liquid gold.
This catalogue is packed with exceptional finds that we have discovered on our Raw Honey travels over the last year. The aim is to bring you some of the best honeys you'll ever taste including gift sets which are perfect for sharing the wonders of raw honey with family and friends.
