OUR HONEY
Acacia Honey
Acacia honey is used in therapeutic mixes but also in gastronomy due to its subtle aroma, slightly floral – like a May evening, which allows it to be used as a natural sweetener without changing the taste of the dishes in which it is added.
Acacia trees have become very widespread and appreciated by skillful nectar harvesters, tireless bees,
as well as people.
The qualities of the honey obtained have made it one of the most sought-after varieties, with a fine and delicate taste, fluid texture and almost translucent colour that make you think of the gentle rays of the morning sun.
Linden Honey
Anyone who has ever been under a flowering linden tree has certainly felt the relaxing effect of its delicate flowers. This property, so desired by each of us, is also found in linden honey used since ancient times for soothing and a good night’s sleep.
In the middle of summer, the flowering of the linden tree offers an enchanting landscape to the hills of Zarand.
The nectar collected by bees from these trees blends very harmoniously
creating the strong and unmistakable taste of linden honey.
So, you just have to try this honey
and you will feel, along with relaxation, the special taste of summer.
Wildflower Honey
The meadows of Zarand has an impressive diversity of plant species, each of them offering their wealth of nectar and pollen in a wide range of scents and inviting colours, all of these contributing to the properties and aroma of wildflower honey.
The discreetly combined aromas are a joy for even the most demanding taster and its beneficial properties are gathered carefully by combining the essence found in each blooming wildflower on the marvelous hills of Zarand.
Thus, we can only invite you to an imaginary autumn journey through the land of Zarand, by tasting the sweet and fragrant wildflower honey.
Cherry Blossom Honey
In April, before leafing, the forest of Zarand begins to acquire white, yellow and pink spots due to the fruit trees that rush to bloom. Most of these flowers are of wild cherries that attract bees to their nectar and inviting scent.
Cherry honey is harder to be found because bees make this refined assortment only in the years with early and warm springs, when they manage to collect the nectar with delicious flavor and a wonderful bouquet.
Anyone who has tried this special and fragrant taste of cherry blossom honey has been enchanted by its aroma, reminding them of fresh springtime
in Zarand landscape.
