Organic Chestnut Honey from the Black Mountain

RAW HONEY FROM SWEET BEEEKEEPING

A nectar concentrating the best of what the Pyrenean bees have gathered. Honey with a warm, woody smell and a strong, woody aroma with a characteristic bitterness.

OUT OF PHASE HONEY

This honey is raw, it has not undergone any heating and naturally goes through 4 phases:

1 - It is liquid at the time of harvest

2 - It often becomes thicker during winter

3 - Then either it remains frozen or it shifts. The honey is separated into a liquid part and a thicker part. Unphased honeys always taste very good.

4 - When stored at room temperature for an extended period of time, honey can ferment naturally. It remains edible and is perfect for cooking and baking.
