Serramel Mel de Urzes Serras de Portugal is a heather honey from the central and northern Portuguese ranges, where Serramel gathers and picks it. Urzes is Portuguese for heathers. According to the producer, the central ranges are dominated by queiró (Erica umbellata) and torga (Erica australis), while the northern slopes are covered mainly in heather.
The honey is dark, with an intense aroma and a sweet taste carrying bitter notes. Jars: 300, 500, 1100 g.
Why this matters to you: it brings a deep, dark honey from wild mountain heathland, clearly unlike the pale blossom varieties.
