Honningcentralen Norsk Lynghonning
Heather honey from the Norwegian beekeepers of the Honningcentralen cooperative.
Honningcentralen Norsk Lynghonning is a heather honey from Honningcentralen, the cooperative of Norwegian beekeepers. The producer says it is gathered on Norwegian heathlands and calls it one of the cooperative's most popular export products.
The harvest happens in autumn, during what Norwegian beekeepers call the heather flow: they often travel far with their hives, and the period lasts around 14 days. Honningcentralen rates the taste as medium strong and aromatic. The honey comes in a jar with a purple «Lyng» label.
Why this matters to you: a short autumn harvest on the heath gives a honey with a pronounced aroma that lighter summer honeys do not have.
