A message to you from Ramon and Begona - producers of raw & pure honey for the Raw Honey Shop
by Tim Walker November 05, 2014
November 5th 2014, day four of my trip.
I am in Spain at the moment visiting Ramon and Begona and later some of the other beekeepers we get honey from.
This is them in this short video. We first discovered their honey back in the 1990s, later we went on to start selling it. Ramon wanted to record a short video message for everyone who has bought or is thinking of buying their honey. Ramon and Begona's bees produce very fine honey, which they ensure remains in its natural state. They are producers, extraordinaire, of raw and unprocessed honeys - about 14 varieties in all. You can see these different types of honey here if you are interested. Ramon is taking me around his hives and I will show you in the next few days what I discovered about Oak honey, which completely surprised me.
Our Winter catalogue has just landed, giving you a taste of what is available this Autumn and Winter - including the new Bioactive Forest (Active 25), an extra virgin olive oil, high in polyphenols. We've have been busy over the last few weeks taking delivery of our new stock. Potent and delicious honeys that I discovered during my travels this year, like the amazing organic Mountain honey created on Mount Helidona from Fir, Oak, Chestnut and mountain herbs. (It's from an exceptionally wild area known as the Greek Alps.)
ACTIVE 25+. We have just taken delivery of a rare & highly antibacterial Sidr & Oak honey from the Rhodope Mountains Greece — the place of one of Europe’s few true virgin forests — very ancient woodland, undisturbed by people. The forest and the bees have produced a truly unique creation. Sidr nectar and Oak honeydew in the same honeycombs - two of our most potent honeys together. Not only is it very antibacterial but the flavour notes of the Sidr and Oak combined are deep and balanced: Oak up front, molasses and dark chocolate, rounded by Sidr’s creamy smoothness.
If you’re searching for a honey that’s not only delicious but also rare, powerful, and steeped in tradition, look no further than our Raw Certified Organic Artisan Sidr - Active 24 One of the world’s rarest honeys, Sidr honey has been cherished for centuries for its purity, healing properties, and unique flavour.
This is one of the finest raw organic forest honeys produced due to the extremely remote area it comes from. Beekeeper Luisa places her hives high in the Cantabrian Mountains and hills in Asturias, a green and unspoilt area in the north of Spain. The forests in this area are untouched, in a chemical-free environment with a mixture of wild Mediterranean oak, chestnut, beech, and pine trees.
