Tim has flown to La Rioja region of Spain (just below the Pyrenees) to visit Alvaro, one of our main beekeepers who's supplied us for many years. He is off today to visit the biosphere Reserve where the bees make their 100% pure honey, free from pesticides and pollution.
He mainly produces organic honey: Forest, Mountain, Heather, Oak, Lemon blossom, Orange blossom and Rosemary honeys. His honeys are popular due to their tendency in staying runny longer especially the darker honeys, although raw honey always eventually sets after a while as it has not been over heated or ultra filtered.
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.
