| Yorkshire Heather Honey - In Stock
Our Heather honey is a smooth, rich flavoured, and full bodied honey with a distinctive aroma. The initial taste is slightly toffee, and it is soon followed by a cooling sensation in the back of the mouth, it has complex aftertastes with a hint of aniseed. Heather honey needs very careful harvesting and delicate handling before it is bottled to retain all it’s unique natural properties. This is another wonderful honey from Mark’s bees in North Yorkshire, he produces honey in batches specifically for us. Spread this honey onto buttered wholemeal toast or crusty bread, drizzle onto vanilla ice cream for the ultimate comfort food.
Ling Heather grows in upland areas across the UK. It is a low flowering bushy shrub which has spectacular purple flowers often creating a carpet of colour when plants grow close together. During August hives are moved from the lowlands to the heather moors to be placed amongst the heather and if the weather is good the bees quickly produce Heather honey. |
