Forest Honey from The Raw Honey Shop
Forest Honey, often known as 'honeydew honey,' diverges from the floral sweetness you may be accustomed to. Instead, it offers a darker, more complex, less sweet profile. It is not made from nectar but from honeydew, which is created from the sap of trees, either directly, such as in the case of Oak honey, where it comes from the acorns. Or indirectly as a sweet secretion from aphids that the bees harvest from the bark and leaves of forest trees such as oak, fir, and pine, producing a honey that carries the woody essence of the forest.
Its characteristics are as intriguing as its origin; a malty, rich taste with resinous undertones, and antibacterial and digestive benefits touted by enthusiasts and natural health practitioners alike. Forest Honey is more antibacterial, richer in minerals, and has a higher antioxidant level than its floral counterparts due to the qualities of the tree sap it is made from. It is often complemented by forest herb nectar, such as from trefoil, and bramble nectar.
Why Choose The Raw Honey Shop for Your Forest Honey?
At The Raw Honey Shop, we understand that every jar of honey has a very unique story - of its environment, its bee creators, and the dedicated beekeepers. Our Forest Honey is no exception. Sourced from untouched wilderness in countries like Spain and Greece, it is a testament to the purity of the land and the respect we have for our buzzing artisans.
We work at building harmonious relationship with small-scale beekeepers, like Luisa, Antonio, Thomas and Asterios, who echo our philosophy - to cherish and respect the bees and their natural processes. The beekeepers work hand-in-hand with nature, allowing bees to thrive in their native habitat and to produce honey that is a true gift from the forest.
Our approach is unintrusive; we take what is generously offered and leave the rest for the bees. It means our Forest Honey is as untamed as the woodland it originates from - raw, unheated, unprocessed, and free of the interventions you find in commercial honey that strip away honey's soulful qualities.
Purchasing from The Raw Honey Shop means you're not just buying honey - you're investing in a craft. You're supporting an eco-conscious supply chain that honours bee welfare and the sustainability of forests. We stand against the commodification of honey, ensuring each beekeeper is fairly rewarded for their essential role in this synergy between bee, forest, and human.
