Toca Organic Honey | Galicia Spain | Eucalyptus, Propolis

Three honeys. One mountain. All three come from the same place: the protected natural reserves of O Courel and Ancares in Galicia, northwestern Spain, where Toca's apiaries sit above 600 meters altitude in uninhabited terrain shared with brown bears, amid forests of oak, chestnut, heather, and bramble. The bees here are fed only their own honey. The hives receive no chemical treatments. Every batch is extracted cold and bottled raw — never heated, never filtered — so the pollen particles, enzymes, and full biological complexity of each honey reach you exactly as the bees made it. Toca is the premium line of Mieles Anta, a family beekeeping operation founded by David Corral over 30 years ago. His work was recognized with the OSYXENE 2006 award by Galicia's ecological defense association. Since then, the accolades have continued: Best Honey in Spain (OCU, 2015), Two Stars at the Great Taste Golden Forks (2021), London Honey Award (2021), BIOL International Organic Honey Prize (2020), and American Food Awards (2021). These are not the same honey in three jars — they are three genuinely distinct products from the same extraordinary beekeeper, each shaped by a different blossom source and, in one case, enriched with a second hive product. Select your variant above. All three are 9.5 oz (270g), USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO, raw, and allergen-free. Eucalyptus Honey Eucalyptus trees arrived on the coastlines of Galicia from Australasia in the late 1800s and have become deeply woven into the region's Atlantic landscape. Toca's coastal apiaries — where bees also collect from chestnut and heather — produce this eucalyptus honey from those Galician coastal blooms exclusively, a variety found nowhere else. It is the mildest and most approachable of the three: a soft, gentle honey with a distinctly intense aromatic presence that contrasts with its delicate flavor. Amber in color and crystallizing to warm golden tones, it carries a floral aroma with a characteristic waxy note — the signature quality of eucalyptus blossom honey — and a taste that is sweet and lightly acidic without heaviness. Eucalyptus honey has long been associated with balsamic properties traditionally used to support respiratory health. It is the most versatile of the three for daily kitchen use — gentle enough for anything. Flavor: Sweet, mildly acidic, floral with a distinctive waxy balsamic note. Medium intensity, clean finish. Color: Amber, crystallizes to golden tones Pairs with: Aged cheeses, ricotta pancakes, pears, port wine, chamomile or herbal tea, mild yogurt Ingredients: 100% organic Spanish eucalyptus honey Honey + Propolis Propolis is one of the most remarkable substances a beehive produces. Bees collect resins from the buds of conifer trees — here, from the eastern Galician mountains that shelter the Ancares and Courel reserves — mix them with pollen and their own active enzymes, and use the resulting compound to seal and sterilize every surface of the hive against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It is literally the hive's immune system in material form. Toca blends 2% of this mountain propolis into their organic wildflower mountain honey, creating a dark amber honey with an intense, complex flavor and a characteristic lingering warmth in the throat that propolis alone produces — immediately distinctive from the first spoonful. The propolis here is sourced from the same mountain environment as the honey, giving the blend a coherent character rather than an additive feel. It is traditionally taken a tablespoon at a time to support immune defenses, particularly during cold and flu season, and pairs especially well with warm drinks and herbal teas. Flavor: Intense and complex. A warming, lightly resinous sensation lingers in the throat. Noticeably bolder than the other two variants. Color: Dark amber Pairs with: Warm herbal teas, honey-lemon drinks, plain yogurt, spread on toast as a daily wellness ritual Ingredients: Organic Spanish wildflower mountain honey 98%, organic propolis 2% Wildflower Honey The most expressive of the three. This is Toca's pure multifloral mountain honey — raw, cold-extracted from bees foraging across the full spectrum of mountain blooms in the Ancares and Courel reserves: chestnut, eucalyptus, heather (Ericaceae), bramble (Rubus), rosaceae, and gorse. Because the bees draw from multiple nectar sources across the mountain landscape, this honey reflects the full botanical richness of Galicia's high-altitude forests rather than a single blossom type. The result is complex, mineral-rich, and powerfully aromatic — amber to dark amber in color, prone to crystallization as raw honey should be, with a flavor that is very pronounced and defined by a slightly acidic brightness with deep floral and vegetal undertones. This is the honey for someone who wants to understand what exceptional raw mountain honey actually tastes like. It is the most minerally complex and assertive of the three — a daily honey that reveals more the longer you use it. Flavor: Intense aromatic, slightly acidic, with pronounced floral and vegetal complexity. Mineral-rich. Color: Amber to dark amber, crystallizes naturally Pairs with: Toast and biscuits, yogurt and fruit, tea and coffee, dressings, marinades, cheese boards Ingredients: 100% organic Spanish mountain wildflower honey About Raw Honey All three Toca honeys are raw — extracted cold and never subjected to heat treatment or filtration at any point in the process. This preserves naturally occurring pollen, enzymes, and trace compounds that commercial heating destroys. Crystallization is a sign of purity and raw extraction, not spoilage. To reliquefy, place the jar in a bowl of warm (not boiling) water. Properly stored at room temperature away from direct sunlight, honey has an indefinite shelf life.
