Serramel is a Portuguese honey brand from Penamacor in Beira Baixa. Serramel traces its origin to 1898, when Jorge de Almeida Lima bought his first movable-frame hives in Lisbon. In 1974 two of his great-grandsons revived the hives and moved to Penamacor, by the Serra da Malcata nature reserve. The brand is run by the company Euromel, Lda.
The range includes Mel de Rosmaninho, Mel de Queiró e Castanheiro, Mel de Urzes Serras de Portugal, Mel de Eucalipto da Beira Litoral, Mel de Flores de Laranjeira, Mel de Carvalho da Serra da Malcata, Mel de Acácia, Mel de Tília. Many names combine plant and place, for example Mel de Rosmaninho da Beira Baixa, Mel de Urzes Serras de Portugal and Mel de Carvalho da Serra da Malcata.
Why this matters to you: Serramel names the place where its bees work (Serra da Malcata, Beira Baixa), which lets you compare this honey with honey of the same kind from elsewhere.
