Heather Honey from Serra da Estrela with Elderberry

Sourced from the cold and pristine slopes of the Serra da Estrela, this honey is harvested at high altitude, where heather blooms dominate the landscape.

A true expression of the heart of Portugal.

Organic Multifloral Honey

Harvested in the Viseu region, in the center of the country, multifloral honey is the result of the diversity of meadows and woodlands stretching across the Beiras.

A testament to biodiversity and sustainable Portuguese beekeeping.

Blended with chili pepper, it creates a vibrant contrast between sweetness and heat, translating the energy of southern Portugal. A honey that embodies freshness, boldness, and originality.

Rosemary Honey with Apple and Cinnamon

In the mountains and valleys of Trás-os-Montes and Castelo Branco, rosemary blooms abundantly, attracting bees that produce a light-colored honey with a sweet, herbal aroma. The addition of dehydrated Portuguese apple and cinnamon transforms it into an aromatic blend that evokes the comfort of traditional recipes. A honey with a Portuguese soul, balanced between freshness and warmth.

Honey Harvested in Serra da Lousã with Ginger
