Raw Organic Oak Honey – Platinum Award Winner 2022

Antonio's Oak honey is a deep and rich tree honey with fruitiness and woody flavours. Sourced from the Sierra del Rincon Biosphere Reserve, this honey is dark and slow to crystallise due to its lower glucose content.

Flavour:

Rich, deep, and woody with a slight fruitiness. This honey is less sweet and more potent than others, making it an excellent choice for those who prefer strong, complex flavours.

Uses:

Perfect for pairing with robust flavours like cheese or as a base in savoury marinades.

Raw Organic Heather Honey

This honey offers a deep, intense flavour with a pronounced bitterness similar to dark chocolate or black tea. Sourced from mountainous terrain, Heather honey is favoured by bees feeding on low-lying heather shrubs.

Flavour:

Bitter, earthy, and bold with dark chocolate-like undertones. Its unique bitterness is balanced by its richness, making it a favourite for those with a sophisticated palate.

Uses:

Great for drizzling over warm bread or incorporating into recipes that require strong, deep flavours.

Raw Organic Wild Lavender Honey

This light, floral honey has creamy vanilla-like notes. Sourced from wild lavender bushes in the Sierra de Guadarrama mountains, it is milder than cultivated lavender honey and perfect for children or those who prefer subtler flavours.

Flavour:

Light, floral, and creamy with a hint of vanilla. It has a smooth and pleasing taste, ideal for everyday use.

Uses:

Perfect for pouring over cheese, using in teas, or as a mild natural sweetener for desserts.

Raw Organic Thyme Honey

This thyme honey has a soft, creamy taste with a subtle herbal hint of thyme, making it ideal for the whole family. It strikes a balance between sweet and savoury, making it versatile and well-loved.

Flavour:

Mildly herbal with a soft, creamy texture. Its balanced, savoury-sweet flavour makes it perfect for all ages.

Uses:

Ideal for adding to teas, spreading over toast, or using in salad dressings.

Crystallisation in Raw Honey

Please note that raw honey naturally crystallises over time due to the presence of glucose. This process does not affect the quality of the honey. For more information on why honey crystallises, visit this article or read more on Wikipedia.

How long has Antonio been a beekeeper?
Antonio has been keeping bees all his life. (He is now over 70.) Antonio is the fourth generation of his family to keep bees going right back to his Great Grandfather in 1897. Now the fifth generation of his family is taking over via is his son Dani and son-in-law Ruben.
2
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..
3
What is the status of Antonio’s honey?
His honey is 100% raw, meaning it’s never heated or filtered beyond coarse filtering to remove any debris from the hive. processed. This ensures it retains all its natural enzymes, pollen, and beneficial properties. In addition, Antonio follows strict organic beekeeping practices, ensuring his bees forage in unpolluted areas free from pesticides and synthetic chemicals. 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.
4
What types of honey does Antonio produce?
Antonio has the widest range of organic honey varieties in Spain that are available directly from the beekeeper (and not via a reseller who may sell honey from many countries). His varieties include oak, chestnut, heather, wild lavender, lavender, rosemary, thyme, eucalyptus, orange blossom, arbutus, honeycomb in a jar and multifloral honey. Antonio also sells fresh and dried bee pollen.
5
Where does Antonio keep his hives?
As mentioned above Antonio has some hives in the Sierra del Rincon, which is part of the Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range, north of Madrid. He also has hives in other areas of the Sierra de Guardarrama such as Patones, where his organic Rosemary honey is created. 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.
6
What else should I know about Antonio’s honey?
His honey has won many awards over the years. In recent times Antonio’s Rosemary and Oak have both won Platinum in the London Honey Awards. This is the top award in a prodigious competition. Additionally, his Oak got two stars in the Great Taste Awards a couple of years ago. And in Spain in the Communidad de Madrid area Antonio’s Oak just won the award as the best dark honey for the 7th time!

His Rosemary is beautiful in a Salad dressing or poured over cheese. His Oak and Chestnut honeys are go to honeys when you need to make a drink to ease a cough or sore throat.
