Forest Honey

13.0020.00

Forest honey is darker in colour than other common types of honey. It is exceptionally high in minerals and nutrients– just one teaspoon can equal 2-4 teaspoons of other types of honey.

Along with its nutrient value, the higher price is a result of its scarcity – that the amount of honeydew produced in any given year is highly dependent on climatic variations.

Honeydew, which is the nectar-like substance bees collect to make this honey, is actually produced by insects, and more precisely, scale insects and aphids which feed on tree sap, their excretions being the nectar which is collected from the leaves by bees. Because the nectar is not gathered directly from plant sources in this case, the resulting honey does not contain pollen and so can be consumed by those with pollen allergies.

Our forest honey undergoes process of crystallization and therefore may change color. Honey crystallization the formation and growth of sugar crystals in a container of honey. Crystallization is a natural process and not a sign of adulteration or spoilage. Due to its physical properties, honey initially tends towards natural crystallization, as it is a supersaturated sugar solution.
