Creamed Summer Blossom – ‘Sensommar’

Available sizes: 340g

Benefits: Like all raw honeys, it is highly antiseptic and anti-inflammatory. Use on the skin to heal wounds, or ingest to sooth coughs and colds. Lavender is also thought to be beneficial for muscle spasms, insomnia and reducing inflammation in muscles and joints.

Tasting notes and tips: A dark honey with an intense lavender aroma. This ‘classic’ honey is floral with notes of lavender and chamomile. Dry on the finish with a hint of acidity. We love this in ice-cream, drizzled on panna cotta, added to cakes and drizzled on goat’s cheese. Would work very well in floral or herbal teas.

Provenance: Our lavender honey is predominantly sourced from the Murcia region of south-east Spain. Made by a collective of beekeepers in the region, who produce beautiful pure honey on a small scale.

Raw honey is not suitable during pregnancy or for children under 12 months old.

Available sizes: 340g

Benefits: May be beneficial in soothing and suppressing muscle spasms. Rich in Vitamin C, it’s traditionally used to support the immune system and treat flu. Like all honeys it has anti-inflammatory & anti-septic properties.

Tasting notes and tips: Orange blossom honey is gentle and sweet, with orange notes on the finish. A rich golden colour and velvet texture, it’s fantastic for cake baking (hello, orange drizzle) or sweet and sour cooking. Try it with yogurt and granola, in ice-tea, with duck, or simply on toast. Rich in fructose and glucose, this honey will crystallise easily.

Provenance: This honey comes from natural orange blossom groves in Southern Spain, predominately Catalonia and Valencia.

Raw honey is not suitable during pregnancy or for children under 12 months old.

Available Sizes: 250g

Benefits: Like other wildflower honeys it contains antioxidants & vitamins. Can be helpful in soothing colds, and due to its anti-inflammatory & antiseptic properties, it can also help to reduce inflammation and infection.

Tasting Notes & Tips: Pale, shimmering pearl colour (‘Pärlehonung’ means Pearl Honey in Swedish), with a silky, creamy texture. Light and floral on the palate, with hints of sherbet and lemon on the finish. We love it on toast & think it makes an excellent glaze for light sponge cakes.

Provenance: Produced early in the season in beautiful Southern Sweden, when fruit trees including apple, pear, plum & cherry, and the first wildflowers are in blossom. Made by Slow Food producer, Viktoria Bassani, who has been producing honey from her hives since 2005. She uses traditional methods, ensuring the preservation of as much flavour and aroma as possible.

Raw honey is not suitable during pregnancy or for children under 12 months old.

Benefits: Traditionally used as a tonic to calm nerves and is thought to be beneficial in soothing Arthritis.

Tasting Notes & Tips: A light colour, with a delicate, floral flavour. Its aromatic properties are fantastic with traditional northern Italian dishes such as prosciutto ham with fresh figs. We also like it with sweet (dolce) Gorgonzola or other salty, mild cheeses. Alpine flowers are found high up in the alps in the Valsesia area of Piedmont. This honey is prized because the flowers are only in bloom for a short time and are often ruined by high winds or sudden downpours.
