Algarve

Sicily
Mmmm… The wonderful dolce far niente feeling of Italy. Those who seek out warmer destinations soon find themselves in beautiful Sicily, where the sun, delicious food and unique sense of life will enchant you. Because of the warm climate, the original honey from this region is sometimes harvested at altitudes of up to 1000 metres.
Honey with a rich taste experience that will raise temperatures in no time. The aroma is immediately stimulating. The taste is also sharp and complex at the same time. Thanks to its firm texture, this cream honey is easy to scoop. It’s perfect for the connoisseur who likes a little spice.
Every hungry Sicilian mouth waters at the mention of the word 'caponata': a preparation made with roasted vegetables in a sweet-and-sour sauce. Of course, the honey provides the sweet touch!
Andalusia
The southern region of Andalusia is known the world over as the cradle of flamenco music and for its contested annual bullfighting tradition. Thanks to its Mediterranean climate, it has a rich biodiversity and wildflowers grow virtually everywhere; the ideal feeding grounds for honeybees.
Typical honey aroma with a taste that is both pure and mild. This tasty cream honey comes from the campos de mil flores (fields of a thousand flowers). Ideal for adding a light but typical undertone of tasty honey to a wide variety of dishes.
When you say Spain, say tapas! And yes, this honey goes perfectly with a soft cheese like manchego or a piece of chorizo. PS: Want to add a sweet touch to the sauce for your albondigas(Spanish meatballs)? Add a few spoonfuls of this honey!
Champagne
La Champagne, the region of northeastern France, is well known for its vineyards, but it also offers its bees an unbelievable diversity of flowers and blossoms. It is an ideal place for our favorite pollinators. In addition to vineyards, the Champagne region is a mixed cultural landscape with large fields with rapeseed crops and small forest clusters.
The naturally pure honey from the Champagne region has a simple, fruity taste with the aromas of caramel and flowers. This cream honey is very white in colour. Thanks to its firm texture, this honey is easy to spread on a sandwich, but can also be used in various dishes.
Putting on a wine and cheese evening? This honey should be definitely be part of it. Thanks to its soft fruity taste, the honey lends an additional tasting experience to both soft and spicy cheeses. Try this recipe for example with grilled camembert, figs and honey. It’s definitely worth a try!
