What makes it distinctive
Across the West Jutland heath, heather blooms for a brief season in late summer. The honey is deep in colour, warm with spice, and dense by nature. Rare in season. Unmistakable in the jar.
How to taste it
Look first at the colour and the dense set in the jar. Then the aroma, the full flavour, and a long finish. Taste it on its own, or with blue cheese, aged cheese, oat biscuits and rye bread.
Naturally different each year
The bloom and weather change from year to year, and the honey changes with them. Each harvest has its own nuances of colour, aroma and texture.
From hive to jar
When the heather blooms, the hives are moved among coastal heathlands across West Jutland. The honey is extracted from the comb. Nothing else is added. Colour, aroma and texture follow the source and the year.
