Pure Mountain Honey

 

A Delightful Wild Floral Caramel-Like Honey

*A GREAT TASTE AWARD WINNER 2021 & LAB TESTED!

Our raw mountain honey has a beautiful mild caramel foretaste, which opens into a tropical floral aroma and finishes by settling into a slight burnt sugar bitterness and an aftertaste reminiscent of tea tannin.

This raw mountain honey comes from the beautiful and unspoiled Galician mountains in the northwestern corner of Spain. Produced at altitudes of over 500m above sea level, it is gathered from a wide range of forest plants typical to the region, including chestnut, oak, heather, brambles, and other blossoms.

We recently conducted Total Activity (TA) testing on this variety to assess its antimicrobial efficacy, it achieved a remarkable TA rating of 15.5, well above the benchmark of 10.

The Total Activity (TA) rating assesses both Peroxide Activity (PA) and Non-Peroxide Activity (NPA).
Unlike the Manuka MGO (methylglyoxal) rating, which focuses solely on the concentration of a single antibacterial compound in Manuka honey, Total Activity testing provides a more comprehensive view of honey's overall quality and health benefits

Here’s a comparison of TA ratings with MGO/UMF levels:
TA Rating    | MGO/UMF  
20+              | 829
15+              | 550
10+              | 263


All of this culminates in a honey full of polyphenols from various trees, flowers and plants making it a potent variety packed with antimicrobial and antibacterial properties.

A 1 star Great Taste Award winner for 2021 with one of the judges commenting:

"Caramel notes are apparent here and it leaves a distinctive, rustic, old fashioned taste. Of rich colour, it has a thick but spreadable consistency."

Uses

With its rich flavour and superior taste it is a favourite when used in granola and flapjacks along with porridge and as a topping on some breakfast items.

    Difficult decision!

    I have over the last few months purchased a number of different honeys- all fabulous and all retaining their own individuality- so which is/are my favourites and that is the difficult decicion! The Spanish Mountain is possibly my top choice but the Heather honeys are magnificent- I imagine tasting and testing and evaluating will have to continue for some time. Great products one and all.

    Superior quality

    This honey is absolutely delicious. I love it drizzled over my breakfast cereal, I enjoy it on hot buttered toast, and I love it on hot buttered crumpets. In fact, I just love it !
