Tip

Acacia Honey 500g

Acacia honey is actually made from the nectar collected from Acacia tree blossoms (black locust tree) which produce a honey that is remarkably clear and pure. Because of its mild delicate floral taste it is one of the most popular and sweetest honey varieties. It can remain in a liquid state for a long period of time due to its high concentration of fructose. On the other hand, its content of sucrose is low. That is why people with a metabolic disorder should talk to their doctor if this honey is an appropriate addition to their nutrition. This honey is excellent for sweetening without altering the taste or the aroma of beverages. Just try it with your tea, coffee and it is great for muesli, too.Our Acacia honey comes from Hungary exclusively, where the woods have still obtained their pristine and untouched beauty.

Clover Honey 500g

Clover is a creeping plant in the pea family which produces large amounts of nectar. In many regions of the world people use clover to control erosion on banks and hillsides, because the plant roots well, holding back the soil, and clover is also used for animal fodder. Clover only grows on unfertilized soil. Beekeepers who want to make clover honey place their hives in an area with a lot of clover, and they may even also plant clover around their hives to encourage their bees to feed especially on clover. It takes 2000 blossoms for one bee!You won't find a lot of clover crop growing farms in Germany anymore. The organic farmers use modern and fast harvesting machines that are too fast for the bees and therefore may kill a lot of them. Since Canada allows the crop growing of genetically modified rape, New Zealand is an ideal supplier for clover honey because of its combination of keeping of sheep and white clover growth. Sheep are slow enough for bees!Pure clover honey is pale to amber to almost white in colour, with a grassy floral scent and a subtle flavour. Easily spreadable, mild honey with a light taste of cinnamon.

Dandelion Honey (The Alpes)

This is an extremely rare spring honey. It can only be harvested in regions without other "competing" plants, especially rape.Therefore, occasions are very rare and it only happens in some years that a possibility of harvesting dandelion nectar is given: in the polders of East Frisia, North Frisia or in the hillsides of the Alps and the Allgäu.From a therapeutic point of view, dandelions and dandelion honey help the liver and kidneys to do their work and keep the bowels in healthy condition, particularly important to dyspeptics as it does not cause wakefulness.The taste is strong with medium sweetness and a slightly astringent lingering aftertaste that has been described as refreshing. A creamy buttery texture suits an application on toast or breakfast rolls and this combination makes a fine morning treat.

Eucalyptus Honey 500g

The country of origin is Australia. There are about 900 different species. Its blossoms vary greatly in colour and size (photo gallery). Eucalyptus honey is a rather mild forest honey (no honeydew) reminiscent of caramel. Eucalyptus plants have been imported to Sardinia and most other south European countries (white blooming Eucalyptus camaldulensis).Besides being a good natural remedy for respiratory problems, Eucalyptus honey is a good antiseptic owing to its germicidal properties. It is good for healing wounds, ulcers, burns, cuts, abrasions and sores. It is often recommended to patients suffering from rheumatism, lumbago, spraint ligaments and tendons, stiff muscles, aches and even nerve pain. And the good news is: it tastes lightly of caramel and not of cough medizine! Are you a tea lover?

Heather Honey 500g

Dark in colour, Heather honey has a powerful aroma that is reminiscent of the heather from which it comes. Uniquely, it has a very unusual texture: it is thixotropic, which means that it is jelly-like until you stir it, when it turns liquid. When you stop stirring it soon sets again. That's not to say that it crystallizes because this honey is not inclined to crystallize in ist pure form. Its strong, rich, smoky taste has been compared to toffee, and gets stronger the longer the honey is stored.It is commonly served with ham, chicken, lamb, seafood and cold dishes and goes well with strong, black coffee. Heather honey is extremely high in protein content. Because of its high content of mineral it is used to treat anemia, urinary infections and various nervous system affections.

Holsteiner Frühtracht 500 g

In Norddeutschland ist dieser gewöhnlich hell, kandiert sehr rasch und schmeckt mild. Beteiligt ist meist etwas Weide, Raps, Himbeere, Ahorn, Obst und Weissdorn. Klee spielt noch keine Rolle, der kommt immer erst später. In jedem Jahr variiert der Frühtrachthonig natürlich, weil die eine oder andere Komponente wegfallen kann.

Some of the oldest forests in the world grow here and are considered so valuable that over 2.5 million acres are protected as a World Heritage Site.

Mandelblütenhonig 500 g

Berits im Januar/Februar beginnen die Mandeln in Spanien zu blühen. Dann färben sich der ganze Landstriche weißlich bis rosa. Der Vorfrühling hält Einzug in Europa. Die Mandel ist, wie der Apfel, ein Rosengewächs und ist obligatorisch auf Bienenbestäubung angewiesen. Das Wetter ist noch nicht stabil, die Bienenfamilien sind noch klein und halb im Winterstadium, aus diesen Gründen ist auch die Ernte des Mandelhonigs nicht jedes Jahr zu erwarten. Der Mandelhonig ist mittelkräftig, eher lieblich und bukettreich. Erst im Abgang entfaltet sich ein feines Aroma, das an das bekannte Mandelaroma erinnert.
