Yorkshire Flower Honey

Benefits: A gentle honey, great for children. It may also help to keep your liver and intestines healthy, and its antibacterial properties have traditionally been used to help with any respiratory ailments.

Tasting notes and tips: A delicate, light flavour. Try it by the spoon, but it can also be wonderful with cheeses, or spread thickly on crumpets and toast. We like it topping a decadent dessert of cream and fresh summer fruits.

Provenance: Made in Poland, the beekeeper cuts the comb directly from the honey frame that’s been in the hive.  It has nothing added and nothing removed so that it maintains all its nutritional benefits.

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

Benefits: Thought to be beneficial for the digestion and associated ailments, including nausea and indigestion. It’s also thought to help blood circulation. Like all honeys it’s anti-inflammatory and a natural antiseptic.

Tasting notes and tips: One of the rarest honeys, it’s prized for its thick, velvet texture and vibrant, fresh flavour.  It has a rich frangipane aroma, and a sweet almond taste, followed by subtle notes of liquorice. Pair with breads, yogurt and hot toddies, or try it with stir-fries, or as a glaze for fish.

Provenance: Made from coriander fields in Bulgaria. The nectar of coriander is highly dependent on certain weather conditions to flower in mid-summer, which is why it’s considered a very rare honey.

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.
