Welcome to the sweet world of Norwegian Beekeeper! Our diverse honey collection offers a range of flavors, each meticulously crafted by our bees in the pristine landscapes of Norway. Whether you’re a honey connoisseur or just beginning to explore the nuances of natural honey, our selection promises something special for every palate. Let’s dive into the unique flavors that make our honey stand out.
1. True Ling Heather Honey
True Ling Heather Honey is harvested from the Calluna vulgaris flower, which is found all over Norway. To achieve the strongest flavors, we collect nectar from bees in the mountains of Trysil, where competition from other flowers is minimal. This honey boasts one of the strongest and most pungent flavors among honeys, with an aftertaste that’s nearly bitter and earthy. Some describe it as tasting of autumn or caramel, while others note its tangy, smoky, and mildly sweet nuances.
- Flavor Profile: Strong, earthy, bitter, smoky, mildly sweet
- Perfect For: Cheese boards, charcuterie, gourmet cooking, spreading on toast, or enjoying with tea and warm milk
Its thixotropic consistency—gel-like at rest but liquid when stirred—requires weeks of resting to fully develop, adding to its unique appeal. This process ensures a smooth, creamy texture, making it a favorite among gourmet enthusiasts and traditionalists alike.
2. Late Summer Honey
Late Summer Honey is collected by our bees on the Nesodden peninsula in the Oslofjord, between Drøbak and Oslo. This honey features a slightly dark, rich flavor with subtle hints of heather, making it less intense than our Ling Heather Honey but still richly flavorful.
- Flavor Profile: Mellow sweetness, subtle heather notes
- Perfect For: Spreads, cereals, sauces, dips, baking, marinating meats, and desserts like yogurt and ice cream
Its creamy consistency is achieved through gentle stirring, ensuring a smooth and spreadable texture that enhances both everyday and gourmet dishes.
3. Forest Honey
Forest Honey is gathered deep within the expansive Norwegian forests, 51 km northeast of Oslo. This honey is predominantly sourced from wild raspberries, blueberries, and lingonberries, with a touch of rowan/mountain ash, thistle, and goat willow.
- Flavor Profile: Sweet with a vanilla-like aftertaste, smooth and creamy
- Perfect For: Strong-flavored cheeses, salty biscuits, spreads, marinating, and enhancing desserts
Its unique nectar sources a delicate balance of sweetness and complexity, making it an excellent complement to a variety of culinary creations.
