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.
