Summary

Antonio’s Raw Organic Thyme Honey is a coarse‑filtered, 100% raw, certified organic honey sourced from thyme blooms in the Sierra de Guadarrama’s northern mountain range in Madrid.

Product Highlights

  • Coarse-filtered
  • 100% Raw
  • Certified organic & unpasteurised
  • Dark amber (liquid); light sandy brown when set
  • Creamy sweetness with delicate thyme herbal undertones
  • Harvested from thyme blooms in Sierra de Guadarrama, Spain

Aroma

Soft and fresh thyme blossom scent with a delicate herbal nuance—evoking Mediterranean high-altitude meadows in bloom.

Flavour

Light and creamy, with mild herbal complexity. The gentle thyme note complements the sweetness, producing a smooth, pleasant flavour reminiscent of mild blossom honey.

Colour

In liquid form: deep dark amber. Upon crystallisation: warm, sandy brown—visually inviting and subtly sun-kissed.

Origin

Sourced from thyme (Tomillo) flowers growing wild at high altitudes in the Sierra de Guadarrama, northern Madrid. Bees forage across organic-certified landscapes to gather the rich herb-floral nectar.

Producer Story

Antonio, a fourth-generation beekeeper, stays true to traditional, additive-free techniques. Managed alongside his family, his hives in Madrid’s mountain regions are certified organic by the Committee of Organic Agriculture, producing honeys that reflect the unique character of local flora.

Common Uses

  • Culinary: Lovely in herbal teas, drizzled on cheeses, or as a glaze for meats and salads.
  • Skincare: Gentle enough to exfoliate and help soothe acne or blemished skin.
  • Everyday: Mild and family-friendly—perfect on toast or stirred into porridge.

🧊 How to store your honey

To preserve enzymes, texture, and flavour, store in a cool, dark place. Light and heat can degrade quality over time.

🍯 Why Raw Honey is Different from Processed Honey

Minimally processed from hive to jar—no heating, blending, or heavy filtering. Retains natural pollen, enzymes, aroma, and antioxidants. Each batch uniquely reflects its season and region.

🌀 Crystallisation

Crystallisation is a natural process—not a defect. We label jars as “runny” or “crystallised,” but states can shift over time. For tips on restoring runny consistency, please refer to our Runny Honey Guide or FAQs.
