Serramel Mel de Carvalho da Serra da Malcata
Very dark, dense oak honey from the north of Serra da Malcata, harvested in June and July, in a 300 g jar.
Serramel Mel de Carvalho da Serra da Malcata is the oak honey of the Portuguese company Serramel. According to the producer, it comes from young oak shoots and is made in June and July in the northern part of Serra da Malcata, along the banks of the river Côa, where oak woods are abundant.
The honey is very dark and extremely dense. Its aroma recalls malt, and Serramel notes that people who like less sweet foods value it. The English line on the label reads oak honey. Jar size: 300 g.
Why this matters to you: it is a rare seasonal honey from a single forest area, with a malty rather than floral character.
