Arroyo de Miel Miel de Bosque
Forest honeydew honey from the Spanish apiary Arroyo de Miel, sold in 250 g, 480 g and 1 kg jars.
Arroyo de Miel Miel de Bosque is the forest honey of the Spanish apiary Arroyo de Miel. The producer explains that the bees gather it not from flowers but from exudates on holm oaks, oaks, pines, firs and other trees and shrubs, which makes it a honeydew honey. Its colour is brown to dark brown; the taste is strong, not very sweet, with salty notes. According to the producer, it contains fewer sugars than nectar honeys. It comes in 250 g, 480 g and 1 kg jars.
Why this matters to you: if acacia feels too sweet, this dark honeydew offers an almost savoury profile instead.
