1. True Ling Heather Honey

Our True Ling Heather Honey is a rare Scandinavian delicacy, made from Calluna vulgaris at high altitudes. 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. And a bonus; it’s packed with antioxidants.

  • 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.

Why Our Honey Stands Out

At Norwegian Beekeeper, we are committed to preserving the natural integrity of our honey. All our products are 100% natural, pure, raw, unheated, unfiltered, and unpasteurized, ensuring that you receive honey in its most authentic form. Our sustainable beekeeping practices and dedication to quality guarantee that every jar you purchase is a testament to nature’s excellence.
