Characteristics of forest honey
It is called forest honey because of its origin. In crontast to other honeys it doesn’t come from nectar of flowers. Forest honey has low humidity and it doesn’t crystallise easily.
Forest honey is produced thanks to the acorn and holm oak secretions as well as secretions from oak tree leaves.
It has dark colour, nearly black. It has a powerful scent with a peculiar taste, soft but with salty notes.
Honey production
We produce it in pre-Pirineu mountains area and in the northern part of Demanda mountain range (La Rioja) during summer season.
Beneficial health properties
Forest honey is good to calm cough. It also works as a diuretic that helps to avoid fluid retention and we can use it against rheumatic complaints. Forest honey has an elevated amount of fructose, that means that people with diabetes need an authorization from their doctor.
How to consume it
Forest honey is not very sweet, almost salty. It is a kind of honey that we can eat alone or with cheese... it is the ideal one for people that haven’t a sweet tooth.
We have 10 and 20 kg buckets and 300 kg large cans.
