What our Customers Say

Thyme honey has a distinctive strong flavour; you can almost taste the thyme oils in it.... I have been growing up with various types of honey as my granddad is a beekeeper, but never experienced thyme honey. It is amazing really! Lucia

The whole family enjoy the thyme honey, it has a thick consistency and lovely amber colour with a bonus of the odd few pieces of honeycomb from the hive, which my 9-year-old absolutely loves. The fact that it is raw and pure makes it even better as we found that treated honeys all taste the same. The thyme honey is amazing used in avocado chocolate mousse recipes and lovely in a lemon and apple cider vinegar drink that we take each morning. Jayne

This Honey fills & ticks all the boxes for Me! It's clear, smooth and delicious to taste. Its flavour does remind me of the honeys of my childhood and does bring back memories of great tea times. It has all the healing properties I look for in honey and I look forward to carry on enjoying your product. This One is particularly DELICIOUS!!! Brigitte

My favourite raw honey is thyme. This is because it helps me with the winter cough it has actually helped me stop coughing. Also my children like it as well. The texture and smell of the honey is lovely. Mel

How long has Antonio been a beekeeper?

What is the story behind Antonio?
As Antonio says, his family’s beekeeping has always been organic both in principle and practice. When organic certification was introduced in Spain Antonio was one of the first to take it up. In fact, Antonio is a pioneer of organic beekeeping in Spain and a key proponent. He is regarded as one of the best, if not the best, organic beekeeper in Spain. He also teaches beekeeping. Often, he appears on TV and in the press on matters relating to beekeeping. Because of his depth of knowledge beekeepers travel from all over the world to learn from him. One time when I visited him we were joined by some beekeepers from Venezuela eager to learn from him. Now he is largely retired from day to day activities but still has some involvement. Now his son Dani and son in law Ruben do most of the beekeeping, meticulously following the practices that Antonio laid down, based on four generations of experience..

His honey is 100% raw, meaning it’s never heated or filtered beyond coarse filtering to remove any debris from the hive. processed. This ensures it retains all its natural enzymes, pollen, and beneficial properties. In addition, Antonio follows strict organic beekeeping practices, ensuring his bees forage in unpolluted areas free from pesticides and synthetic chemicals. Also, there are other requirements, such as no sugar feeding and that the hives are made of completely natural materials. Antonio is fortunate to be able to keep some hives in one of the purest places in Spain. His Oak, Heather and Wild Lavender hives are the Sierra del Rincon UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The hives are in an area that is limited to Reserve Rangers and beekeepers and no one else – meaning this area is exceptionally pure.

Antonio has the widest range of organic honey varieties in Spain that are available directly from the beekeeper (and not via a reseller who may sell honey from many countries). His varieties include oak, chestnut, heather, wild lavender, lavender, rosemary, thyme, eucalyptus, orange blossom, arbutus, honeycomb in a jar and multifloral honey. Antonio also sells fresh and dried bee pollen.

Where does Antonio keep his hives?
As mentioned above Antonio has some hives in the Sierra del Rincon, which is part of the Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range, north of Madrid. He also has hives in other areas of the Sierra de Guardarrama such as Patones, where his organic Rosemary honey is created. Because of climate change Antonio moves some hives to different locations such as Portugal where his Chestnut and Eucalyptus honey comes from, also some Oak from time to time.

What else should I know about Antonio’s honey?
His honey has won many awards over the years. In recent times Antonio’s Rosemary and Oak have both won Platinum in the London Honey Awards. This is the top award in a prodigious competition. Additionally, his Oak got two stars in the Great Taste Awards a couple of years ago. And in Spain in the Communidad de Madrid area Antonio’s Oak just won the award as the best dark honey for the 7th time!
