British Heather Honey

Unpasteurised Heather Honey 240g British heather honey is a rare, prized artisan honey known for its deep amber-red color, gelatinous texture, and bold, smoky-sweet flavour. Often called the "British Manuka," it captures the wild essence of late-summer British moorlands. Appearance: Rich, deep amber with a striking orange or reddish hue. Texture: Naturally thixotropic (gel-like or jelly-like) with tiny suspended air bubbles from the extraction process. Flavour Profile: Bold and earthy with complex notes of malt, warm caramel, and aromatic moorland herbs. Finish: A strong, pleasant, slightly bitter or peaty aftertaste that lingers on the palate. Aroma: Intensely floral, woody, and reminiscent of damp peat and blossoming heather. Source: Foraged primarily from Calluna vulgaris (ling heather) on the rugged upland moors of Scotland, Northern England, and the West Country during August Rarity: Considered a seasonal luxury because harvesting it depends on favourable late-summer weather and moving hives to remote hillsides Pairings: Exceptional spread over warm buttered toast, crumpets, or stirred into morning porridge.Cheese: Perfect complement to sharp, mature, or smoked cheeses
