Raw Forest Honey – ‘Miele di Bosco’

Benefits: Thought to have healing properties for gаѕtrоintеѕtіnаl and rеѕріratоrу ailments. It’s also considered as beneficial for kіdnеуѕ, heart, and circulation. Like all raw honey it helps heal wounds, burns and skin conditions, and supports the immune system.

Tasting notes and tips: A beautiful amber colour & not particularly floral, this honey is subtly sweet, with a gentle note of lemony acidity on the finish. The perfect breakfast honey – great on toast, yogurt or even porridge. Otherwise try it with poached pairs, roasted plums or peaches, and cheeses (mild to medium).

Provenance: Made in Bulgaria, the bees are foraging from sunflower fields during July and August. Bulgaria has a rich heritage in beekeeping and honey production, due to its climate and rich diversity in flora and fauna.

Benefits: Like all honeys, it’s a natural preservative, with antiseptic qualities that can soothe sore throats, coughs & colds. Vanilla is also beneficial for digestion, stomach problems and inflammation.

Tasting notes and tips: Lots of floral notes and the fresh vanilla gives the honey a distinctive vanilla ‘tang’. Heavenly with toast, marvellous in cakes and bakes, or try over your porridge.

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.

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.
