Forest Honey from the Norwegian Woods, Raw & Pure

Our Raw Forest Honey is collected by our bees far into the forest, 51 km northeast of Oslo, Norway. Both our bees and we love it there. The distance to farmland is so far that the only resources available are wild plants.

95% of the nectar collected for this honey comes from wild raspberries, blueberries and lingonberries. Please see further down the page for the findings from the laboratory.

Our honey is always raw - unheated and unfiltered. We only produce raw honey, because we want our honey to be the way nature made it for us.

Flavour

Very sweet honey, with an aftertaste reminding of vanilla. 

Use

Commonly used as a spread for the sweet tooth. It goes very well with strong flavored cheese and salty biscuits. 

It can of course be used like other types of honey for marinating food or next to a board of charcuterie, on the yogurt or ice cream. 

This honey is a good contrast to our Ling Heather Honey.

Consistency

Creamy.

Creamy honey has a long shelf life. When stored dark at stable room temperature (approx. 20°C / 68°F) it will stay stable and not change consistency. 

It is a tradition in Norwegian to always cream the honey. Norwegian beekeepers rarely sell liquid honey. To make our honey creamy, we gently stir our honey for a few minutes several times a day. After about two weeks, it becomes creamy and delicate, ready to be transferred into jars.
