Breitsamer Weißtannenhonig
Liquid silver fir honeydew honey by Breitsamer, harvested in Germany and Poland, in a 500 g jar.
Unlike blossom honeys, Weißtannenhonig is made not from nectar but from tiny droplets of honeydew on silver fir needles. Breitsamer writes of dense fir forests where barely any light gets through even in midsummer. Harvest region: Germany and Poland.
The colour is a greenish dark brown and the taste resinous and malty with a hint of dried plums; the listed attributes also include characteristic, strong and spicy. The honey is liquid. The producer notes it can only be harvested in suitable weather, so not every year. 500 g jar with a flip-top lid.
Why this matters to you: it is a honeydew honey for those who want a strong, resinous taste rather than floral sweetness.
