Med Karpat Yafyn-med
High-mountain honey, largely monofloral, from bilberry nectar, by the Zakarpattia producer Med Karpat.
Yafyn-med is an exclusive, largely monofloral high-mountain honey from Med Karpat, made from the nectar of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), known locally in Zakarpattia as yafyna. It is not honey mixed with berries but honey from bilberry blossom. The producer describes a gentle, pleasant and refined aroma and taste that recall the high mountain pastures. The flavour is a classic, delicate honey taste with a barely noticeable tang and a fine finish. The purple label says ЯФИН-МЕД in large letters. Glass jars come in 120 g, 240 g, 350 g, 600 g and 1,350 g.
Why this matters to you: bilberry honey from mountain pastures rarely reaches the shelf, and here the plant source is named on the label.
