  • Flavour Profiles: A range of bold, dark, and creamy flavours that highlight the diversity of Spanish mountain honeys.

Raw Certified Organic Forest Honey:

  • Raw, natural and one of the purest honeys because of the remote area it comes from.
  • Antibacterial, coarse-filtered, unpasteurised, and enzyme-rich. This raw Forest comes from the forests and mountains in Asturias and Leon. It is a green and unspoilt area in the north of Spain. This is a very high quality Forest honey, that has been recognised in the Great Taste Awards.
  • Forest honey is higher in natural fructose than other types of honey, and so this serves as good source of energy. Hence, a spoon of forest honey helps to relieve fatigue immediately, and the lower glucose keeps it from setting longer than many other types of honey.
  • The forest trees can include chestnut and Mediterranean oak as well as beech and pine. These large trees exude a sweet sap which the bees feed on, sometimes with the help of aphids who drill into the tree bark to release the sap. Some trees also produce strongly-scented blossoms, like the chestnut trees, which the bees love.

Luisa's Raw Creamed Organic Eucalyptus Honey:

  • This honey has a light and floral flavour, with a slightly savoury, beeswax aftertaste.  This is an easy-going, raw honey with a lovely, creamy texture. It contains traces of eucalyptol which gives it its fresh, revitalizing taste. It is perfect for situations where a milder flavour is desired.
  • This variety of creamed eucalyptus honey comes from Asturis, a largely untouched, wild and diverse region in the north of Spain. 
  • The eucalyptus tree is an evergreen, also known as Eucalipto in Spanish. It is one of the fastest growing trees in the world. Its essential oil is often used in aromatherapy as a decongestant and antiseptic. The trees are mostly found in Australia but also now in the Mediterranean.
  • Eucalyptus honey is particularly good to use in skin care. Its fresh clean aroma and soothing composition helps aid skin recovery and removal of blemishes, acne and spots. It is also extremely versatile in recipes such as meat glazes, cakes, flapjacks, breads and teas.

Luisa's Raw Creamed Organic Heather Honey:

  • Raw Heather is an amazingly deep tasting shrub honey with a depth of flavour similar to dark chocolate or black tea.  
  • Despite not coming from a tree, heather honey has similar properties to a tree honey, namely its potent taste, dark colour and antibacterial properties.
  • Luisa's raw Organic Creamed Heather Honey is a classic variety. Very popular due to its superb deep earthy flavour, rich but not sickly, balsamic but not savoury. It is mildly bitter but complimented by a balanced sweetness.
  • This variety of mountain honey comes from It comes from the bees feeding on the low lying heather shrubs found at the San Isidro Plateau in Asturias. Asturias is a largely untouched, wild and diverse region in the north of Spain. Luisa's hives are well away from sources of pollution on the San Isidro plateau.

About the beekeepers:

Luisa, her daughter Olaya and son Mario are passionate artisan beekeepers from the wild regions of northern Spain. Their hives are located far from pollution, in the remote national parks of Asturias and Leon.  Their organic practices ensure that the honey they produce is pure, raw, and full of flavour, reflecting the rich biodiversity of the region. This is a family operation and includes Luisa's mother Jacoba and her sister Ines, who pack the honey.

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

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.
