This gift set has been carefully constructed to give the best possible taste experience of organic, antibacterial honeys from the remote untouched hills and mountains of rural Spain.

Antonio's Organic Oak Honey (1kg) - This is a very deep and rich tasting tree honey; it has a fruitiness as well as a deep woody flavour. Tree honey tends to be dark, have a stronger flavour and are less likely to set due to a relatively low glucose content. Antonio's raw oak honey is a unique type amongst the tree varieties. It has a deep earthy taste with lots of malt and a touch of smokiness - quite savoury and not as sweet as other varieties. This particular oak honey is very dark in colour, almost black. In some cultures, dark honey is very highly valued.

Antonio's Organic Chestnut Honey (1kg) - This is a beautiful, deep-flavoured variety. It has slight caramel notes as well as a deep sweetness and a touch of bitterness too. The nutty flavour of the chestnut carries through as well as a taste a little similar to maple syrup but slightly more rich and malty. Chestnut can lend a bitter taste to honey but not always, it is known to be one of the most varied types of honey in taste, differing greatly from one area to another and from one season to the next.

Antonio's Raw Organic Heather honey (1kg) - According to the judges in the Great Taste Awards: "Heavily aromatic. Treacly, almost fudgy in texture. There's an almost molasses richness and tinge of bitterness. Some deep meadowy flavours - more herbaceous than fruity, we feel. It has length and persistence." and "Deep brown, glossy, thick honey. The honey has a caramel aroma, and the dried fruit flavour comes through well and is rich and balanced. We would see this working well for a number of purposes - fruit, yoghurt or on toast."

How Raw Honey is different from Processed Honey - Raw honey generally means the honey has not been processed, it has come from the hive to the jar with minimal interference. Most supermarket honey is highly processed to make it look more attractive, usually it has been largely drained of pollen, heated and blended. Raw honey tends to vary from batch to batch, this is because it is not processed in a factory, filtered or heated to look homogeneous. Raw honey changes with the season and climate, the soil, what the bees feed on, and the nature of the colonies.

Please know that raw honey does crystallise and this is a natural process that occurs mainly due to the natural glucose in raw honey. For more information on why honey sets visit this article and for a more scientific explanation go to wikipedia.

What is the story behind Antonio?
As Antonio says, his family’s beekeeping has always been organic both in principle and practice. When organic certification was introduced in Spain Antonio was one of the first to take it up. In fact, Antonio is a pioneer of organic beekeeping in Spain and a key proponent. He is regarded as one of the best, if not the best, organic beekeeper in Spain. He also teaches beekeeping. Often, he appears on TV and in the press on matters relating to beekeeping. Because of his depth of knowledge beekeepers travel from all over the world to learn from him. One time when I visited him we were joined by some beekeepers from Venezuela eager to learn from him. Now he is largely retired from day to day activities but still has some involvement. Now his son Dani and son in law Ruben do most of the beekeeping, meticulously following the practices that Antonio laid down, based on four generations of experience..

Also, there are other requirements, such as no sugar feeding and that the hives are made of completely natural materials. Antonio is fortunate to be able to keep some hives in one of the purest places in Spain. His Oak, Heather and Wild Lavender hives are the Sierra del Rincon UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The hives are in an area that is limited to Reserve Rangers and beekeepers and no one else – meaning this area is exceptionally pure.

Because of climate change Antonio moves some hives to different locations such as Portugal where his Chestnut and Eucalyptus honey comes from, also some Oak from time to time.
