Description

Our mountain honey comes from protected high altitude meadows of wild flowers (marjoram, blueberry, raspberry, thistles, etc...). We harvest our Mountain Honey in july at an altitude of over 1000 m. The geographical origin mentioned on the jars and descriptions of honey may vary depending on the season, transhumance periods, flowering and weather conditions.

Health Benefits of Honey

Produced from generous quantities of nectar from numerous wild plants with recognised benefits for health and well-being, this stimulating honey is very nutritious and restorative; ideal for athletes. In the winter it helps to strengthen the immune system, and its soothing qualities are wonderful for sensitive throats.
It is exceptionally nutritious, but may still be consumed every day. Delicious on toast.

- Local, community based network of small independent beekeepers.

HEATHLY & GOOD FOR THE BEES

- Gentle harvest method that does not stress the bees.
- Harvested without chemical repellents.

RESPECT FOR NATURE'S BOUNTY

- Harvested when mature (no dehumidification), respecting the fundamental cosmic rhythms of nature. 
- Manual uncapping using a knife.
- Unpasteurised, not heated above 35°C (95°F) (the hive's natural temperature).
- Placed in jars by hand on site in the honey house.
- Energised honey: long macerations and manual blending that subtly reinforce natural properties.
