Magyar Méz Manufaktúra Selyemfűméz
Common milkweed honey from Magyar Méz Manufaktúra, a rarer Hungarian variety in 250 g and 500 g jars.
Magyar Méz Manufaktúra Selyemfűméz is honey from common milkweed, a plant Hungarians also call «wild tobacco» or «silk thistle». The manufactory notes that this variety is not widespread in Hungary and that the plant is native only to Hungary and neighbouring countries. Its scent is described as floral, soft and slightly spicy, and its taste as less bitter than linden honey. Stored properly, it crystallises more slowly than other honeys. It is collected on selected farms, including land with an ecological certificate, from Hungarian small producers, with no additives. The producer suggests eating it on its own. Packs: 250 g and 500 g.
Why this matters to you: milkweed honey is rarely found outside Central Europe, so this jar is a way to meet a truly regional variety.
