2 x Hellenic Arbutus Honey by The Travelling Bee Company
227g
Brand: Travelling Bee Company
Collected from the arbutus plants of Mount Olympus,
the ‘Home of The Gods’ in Thessaly, Greece. Natural and
unprocessed. Awarded 2 stars at The Great Taste Awards 2022. So
what did the judges say? "A beautiful looking coppery toned honey
with hints of deep caramel. Wafts of the hive and bee with vegetal
overtones and a mere whiff of floral fragrance. Incredibly complex
with notes of aniseed, licorice, rich caramel, roasted coffee, with
burnt and bitter woody notes adding their astringency to a deeply
sweet and characterful gift from nature. Compared to a fine whisky,
playful on the palate. A truly complex and exciting honey that is
an absolute flavour bomb." Arbutus honey (also known as “strawberry
tree honey” due to the fruit found on the plant) is a favourite in
Greece. A rare honey due to the plant blossoming late in the year.
It is famous for its unusual taste and boasts one of the highest
antioxidant counts in the honey world. The taste: Initially sweet
with a hint of pine cutting through, followed by a surprising
bitter aftertaste similar to ground coffee or dark chocolate. It is
dark amber in colour, with a strong yet amiable aroma. This honey
pairs well with almost all Mediterranean dishes and cheeses. This
is one for the honey connoisseur’s collection! About the Producer
