Known for its distinctive light smokey flavor derived solely from ling heather nectar, this 12-ounce glass jar offers a unique taste experience crafted through sustainable beekeeping practices that honor both tradition and nature. ## Description At Mellis Honey, their philosophy is rooted in promoting one of nature's most precious resources: honey. Their brand name, derived from the ancient Latin word for "from honey," reflects their commitment to honoring the hard work of bees, which are vital pollinators that support the growth of flowers, trees, and other plants essential to our ecosystem. Honey has been used in a variety of ways for centuries, and today, they offer a collection of the finest honey products, crafted in collaboration with carefully selected beekeepers and producers. With 400 hives covering 100 square miles of Dumfries & Galloway in Scotland, John Mellis has become known as one of Scotland's most successful bee farmers, with his honey in great demand for it's unique flavor. The distinctive flavor of his honey is down to the countryside the hives are positioned in, with trees, wild flowers and heather providing the nectar the bees need. John Mellis works hard at achieving such distinctive flavors in his honey, actually transporting hives throughout the season to the most interesting flower sources to save the bees making long flights in search of their precious nectar! The honeys we supply are set honeys (as opposed to runny honey). Set honey is made in a high speed centrifuge. Some separation may occur over time. Review: WOW! Texture and flavor are awesomely brilliant! - The flavor of this honey is indescribable! The texture is like spun honey butter! I really didn’t know what to expect when ordering this honey for the first time, but it certainly will not be my last time! It is great on anything one decides to put it on or even great right off the spoon! The flavor stays in your mouth for a few minutes and allows one to savor it! I don’t know what the heather flower smells like, but this flavor sets this honey above all others in my opinion! One really has to try this to know what I am raving about! I will most certainly make this a staple in my kitchen from now on! The price is affordable considering what one gets in return! A wonderful mouth experience! Review: GRANDMA GOOD - The taste isn’t like other honeys, it’s very complex and smooth. I purchased this bottle for my 11 year old granddaughter for her tea and cookie break (which she gets when she does well in sports or school) and she recognized immediately that this was Grandma’s “special” honey and something to be savored.

High speed centrifuging which removes all extraneous material and causes the honey to set to a viscous state similar to peanut butter. **Q: Is this honey supposed to come solid? I just opened my brand new jar and the honey inside was solid** A: Heather honey is actually known for its gel-like solidity! It has a higher protein content than almost all other honeys. Much like pectin and gelatin based gels, it loosens into more of a liquid when heated. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW!
