- ORIGIN: This multifloral honey comes from a remote village called Patones, located in Jarama Valley in the northeast of Madrid, Spain.
- FLAVOUR: light and creamy flavour with a slight menthol taste and a good amount of floral wild flowers, though it can also have a much darker and bolder flavour depending on the batch. This variety makes for a great entry point to the world of raw honeys. Multifloral honey can vary quite a bit from batch to batch as the flowers and plants will change due to the weather. We also sometimes get a batch of multifloral honey, which comes from the forest, and is much darker and stronger in flavour.
- COLOUR: Depending on the season, this particular honey can go from a rich, dark toffee colour, which turns a deeper shade of orange when set, to a lighter, amber colour going a a lovely shade of orange in the light.
- BEEKEPPER: The bees of Antonio Simon, a 4th generation beekeeper who takes pride in producing honey in a traditional way without adding or taking away anything. Antonio's hives are mainly based in the mountain ranges of north of Madrid. His beekeeping practices and the land he has his hives on have been certified as Organic Greek Honey by the Committee of Organic Agriculture in Madrid.
- WILD RAW HONEY: the wild flowers and flora of northern Madrid are vast amongst the mountainous regions. There are Thymus, Lavendula, Borago, Crocus and Romulea, just to name a few that are in this multifloral honey! Multifloral honey varies widely depending on the areas the bees have been feeding on, it can be wild meadows or forest flowers or just a mix of any flora in the local area.
- COMMON USES: Multifloral honey is particularly good to use as a skin treatment to aid in clearing blemishes, spots and acne, it is also very versatile in different recipes, such as: a glaze for meats, with salads, cakes, flapjacks, breads and teas.
- TOTALLY ORGANIC RAW HONEY: Not heated, only put through a coarse filter (to take out bits of hive debris), all the good bits still in the honey - propolis, pollen, sometimes royal jelly. NO SUGAR FEEDING - the bees are left with enough honey to meet their needs.
- NATURALLY CRYSTALLISES OVER TIME: If yours has crystalised and you prefer it runny, place it on a radiator and drape a tea towel over it. Leave it overnight. The heat will not damage the honey, the important thing is that you don't heat the honey beyond 40 degrees (the hive can get this hot in Summer). If the radiators are very hot then a thin book under the jars to shield them from direct heat. It can take up to two days to fully liquify.
- TRACEABLE TO SOURCE. Each jar can be traced back to the group of hives it came from.
