Honey variety

Heather honey: the spicy delicacy from the heath

Heather honey is gel-like, spicy-intense and rare – a true delicacy from the heath.

Taste and character

Heather honey tastes robust, spicy and slightly bitter, with considerably more layers of flavour than light blossom honeys. Its consistency is gel-like.

Origin

Genuine heather honey comes from common heather. Sandy soils and the late flowering season give it so much character – the Lüneburg Heath is an origin with a reputation.
