Spanish Forest Honey – Rich Honeydew Honey from León

Our forest honey comes from the León region in north-western Spain. It is characterised by its dark colour, rich aroma and a pleasantly aromatic flavour with subtle malty notes.

This distinctive honey has long been one of the most popular varieties at Honig Schmidt. It is an excellent choice for anyone who prefers stronger honeys with less pronounced floral sweetness.

Forest Honey as Honeydew Honey

Forest honey belongs to the category of honeydew honeys. Unlike traditional blossom honey, it is produced entirely or mainly from honeydew or natural secretions found on living parts of plants, which are collected and transformed into honey by bees.

This special origin gives forest honey its typical character. It is generally darker than many blossom honeys and has a rich, aromatic and slightly malty flavour.

Origin: León Region, Spain

The extensive woodland landscapes of the León region provide suitable conditions for the production of aromatic forest honey. Our Spanish forest honey is carefully selected for its distinctive flavour and dark appearance.

Its origin is stated transparently: this forest honey comes from Spain and is not offered as a blend of honeys from different countries.

Versatile Ways to Enjoy

The rich character of this forest honey makes it highly versatile. It tastes delicious on bread or rolls and pairs particularly well with stronger cheeses such as goat’s or sheep’s cheese.

Spanish forest honey can also be used to enhance salad dressings, marinades, sauces and savoury dishes. Its slightly malty flavour complements both sweet and savoury recipes.

Crystallisation Is a Natural Process

Honey may crystallise over time. The speed and extent of crystallisation depend on factors such as its natural composition and storage temperature. Crystallisation is a natural process and does not indicate a loss of quality.

To soften the honey, gently warm the closed jar in a lukewarm water bath.

Storage and Important Information
