Raw Runny Honey, Amber

Description

Raw Runny Honey Amber

The amber honey was harvested after the bees had been foraging mainly on the flowers of Field Beans growing on local farmland.
Wild Brier Roses were also in abundance at the time, along with honeysuckle and broom.
The subtle floral flavour is delicious with natural live yoghurt drizzled over fresh fruit.

Our honey is “raw honey” which means it is exactly as it was, when it left the beehive. It is unprocessed. This means that it still has all the pollen, enzymes, other micronutrients and natural properties of the honey, which can be destroyed by commercial processing methods. Unfiltered honey will crystallise over time, but is still delicious spread on wholemeal bread, or stirred in to porridge.
Our honey is collected at different times during the season, which is why there are different textures and colours. We don’t blend them, filter them or treat them with heat.
The reason why the really large commercial companies heat-treat their honey, is to give it a good shelf life by preventing it from crystallising or fermenting. Unfortunately, by doing this, they destroy many of the natural properties of the honey.
