Antonio’s Raw Organic Oak Honey 🏆 Platinum Winner (2022 London) & Great Taste Gold (2022)

A deep, richly flavoured tree honey—dark, complex, and slightly savoury. With malty, woody notes and a hint of smokiness, this powerful oak honey offers profound taste and tradition, with the bonus of throat-soothing properties.

Summary

Antonio’s Raw Organic Oak Honey is a 100% raw, certified organic tree honey sourced from oak sap in the pristine Sierra del Rincón UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Nearly black in appearance, it delivers an earthy, malty complexity with balsamic depth and subtle smoke—ideal for adventurous palates seeking a less-sweet, more intense honey.

Product Highlights

  • Coarse-filtered
  • 100% Raw
  • Certified organic & unpasteurised
  • Platinum – 2022 London Honey Awards
  • Great Taste – 2022
  • Almost black (liquid); dense and glossy texture
  • Deep woody, malty, with a touch of smokiness
  • Harvested from oak sap in Sierra del Rincón Biosphere, Spain

Aroma

Deep, woody aroma with notes of oak and earth—reminiscent of forest undergrowth, malted grain, and warming balsam.

Flavour

Profound and savoury, this oak honey balances malt, balsamic richness, and a discreet smokiness. Less sweet than blossom honey, it's nearly mead-like in strength and character.

Colour

Nearly black in its liquid state—highly valued in many cultures. Retains intense hue and glossy depth when jarred.

Origin

Sourced from oak sap (acorn exudate) in the high-altitude woodlands of Sierra del Rincón UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (~1,100 m), northern Madrid—an untouched, chemical-free environment.

Producer Story

Antonio, a fourth-generation beekeeper, adheres to traditional, additive-free methods. His hives in northern Madrid’s wild landscapes are certified organic by the Committee of Organic Agriculture. His oak honey honours the rare, potent character of oak-sourced tree honey.

Common Uses

  • Culinary: Enhances cakes, cookies, and dessert toppings.
  • Beverages: Adds depth to warm teas or mead recipes.
  • Glazes: Complements meats with its rich balsamic flavour.
  • Wellness: Beloved for throat-soothing qualities (“very effective in healing my almost permanent sore throat” – Angela, UK).

🧊 How to store your honey

Store in a cool, dark place to maintain enzyme potency and texture. Avoid light and heat to preserve its rich character.

🍯 Why Raw Honey is Different from Processed Honey

Raw honey is untouched from hive to jar—no heating, no blending, no heavy filtering. It retains pollen, enzymes, antioxidants, and colour; every jar reflects its unique ecosystem and season.

🌀 Crystallisation

Crystallisation is natural—not a flaw, thus not eligible for return. Jars are labelled “runny” or “crystallised,” but conditions may change. See our Runny Honey Guide or FAQs for decrystallisation tips.

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.

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.

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.
