Raw Arbutus Honey

With a unique bitter flavor with soot reminiscent of rust sensations at first (slightly acidified), it is subtly delicate shortly after tasting, making it an easily recognizable natural honey. Its aroma is penetrating, consistent and unique.

Its peculiar bitter flavor is due to a mixture of components such as heterosides, arbutin and tannins that bees process to produce this exquisite honey, queen of winter beekeeping.

Usually quick to crystallize into thick grains, it has a unique texture, grainy and pleasant to the palate. A color can be seen that evolves from amber brown when it solidifies, to acquiring a darker tone when it is in a more fluid state.

It is a honey highly appreciated in Arab cultures for use in traditional culinary recipes or for cosmetic use.
