What About the Lime Tree?

Origin

Harvested from the wildflower meadows of Lithuania, this honey benefits from an unspoiled environment, free from industrial farming. The meadows, rich in buckwheat blooms, provide an ideal habitat for the bees to create this uniquely flavoured honey, free from pesticides and other chemicals.

Common Uses

This honey’s bold flavour and thick, creamy consistency make it highly versatile in the kitchen. Eat it with sharp cheeses like Stilton or Gouda for a sweet and savoury contrast. Use it in marinades for pork, lamb, or game meats, or spread it on hearty, wholegrain breads for a robust breakfast option. It also pairs beautifully with Greek yogurt, smoothies, or as a topping for vanilla ice cream to create an indulgent dessert experience.

Raw Certified Organic Forest & Wild Flower Honey 

This unique honey is ideal for those who enjoy a mix of both meadow flower and forest honey characteristics. Sourced from untouched wildflower meadows and forests in Lithuania, this honey captures the rich biodiversity of the region. Thanks to the honeydew from nearby forests, it crystallises more slowly than typical meadow flower honey and offers a deeper, more complex flavour. Beekeeper Laimonas, whose family has been beekeeping for generations, has crafted this honey with great care, ensuring it remains 100% raw, unheated, and certified organic.

Product Highlights

• Cold-pressed and coarsely filtered to preserve beneficial natural enzymes and pollen.
• Sourced from Lithuania's northern wildflower meadows and forests, untouched by industrial agriculture.
• Artisan-crafted by Laimonas, a beekeeper whose family has been beekeeping for generations.
• 100% raw and unheated, ensuring all natural enzymes are preserved.
• Takes longer to crystallise due to the presence of forest honeydew.
• Certified organic, guaranteeing a product free from modern industrial agriculture.

Flavour

This honey is crafted from nectar and honeydew gathered by bees from a rich variety of plants, including willow (Salix), fennel (Apiaceae), bramble (Rubus), clover (Trifolium repens), and traces of linden (Tilia). These floral sources contribute to the honey's sweet, slightly minty, and slightly bitter profile, with subtle notes of fennel and the freshness of forest blooms. Its flavour is well-balanced, with hints of herbal and floral tones, making it truly unique.

Colour

This honey has a medium brown colour, darker than typical meadow honeys but lighter than most tree honeys.

More About Laimonas and His Beekeeping Heritage

Laimonas’ beekeeping heritage stretches back to his great-grandparents, giving him deep knowledge of his craft. His bees roam freely in organic, remote meadows, untouched by industrial farming, allowing for the production of pure, raw honey.

Laimonas maintains his hives in wildflower meadows and forested regions across Lithuania, where lime trees thrive, providing rich nectar. His family has been beekeeping for generations, passing down a tradition of high-quality, pure honey production.

How Raw Honey is Different from Processed Honey

Raw honey is minimally processed, meaning it’s packed with natural enzymes, pollen, and nutrients that are often lost during processing. Most supermarket honeys are processed to create a uniform appearance, often being drained of pollen, heated, and blended. Raw honey changes in flavour, colour, and texture depending on the season and the flowers that bees feed on, making each batch unique.

Crystallisation in Raw Honey

Raw honey tends to crystallise over time due to its natural glucose content. This is a natural process and does not affect the quality of the honey. For more information on why honey crystallises, visit our blog or check Wikipedia for a more scientific explanation.

How to Store Your Honey

To maintain the natural potency and unique qualities of this honey, store it in a cool, dark place. Avoid exposure to light and heat to preserve its beneficial enzymes, flavour, and texture.
