Organic honey from the Salines Massif

An organic honey with a Pyrenean soul

Our organic honey from the Salines Massif comes from one of the most unique and wild areas of the Alt Empordà, where Mediterranean influences meet Pyrenean landscapes. Harvested in spring, this honey reflects the richness of mountain flora and the values of sustainable local beekeeping.

Origin: Salines Massif, a mountain borderland

Located between the Alt Empordà and Northern Catalonia, the Salines Massif reaches over 1,300 meters above sea level. Its rugged terrain and zoned vegetation form a varied ecosystem that includes heather, rosemary, strawberry trees, chestnuts and forest honeydews. In this pristine environment, bees produce a certified organic honey that captures the wild character of the mountains.

Floral diversity and mountain personality

The wide range of nectar sources gives this honey a rich, layered profile. Heather (Erica spp.) brings depth and intensity, rosemary adds fresh and herbal notes, while chestnuts and honeydew contribute darker and more aromatic tones. The result is a honey with a sweet base, slightly salty undertones and a mildly bitter finish — ideal for those seeking complexity and authenticity.

Certified organic honey

This organic honey is produced according to the European Union’s organic farming standards. It is free from synthetic chemicals and antibiotics, and the hives are located in uncontaminated forested areas that support a healthy and diverse natural environment.

Certified organic and unprocessed

Our honey is certified organic under EU regulations. It has not been heated or filtered, meaning it retains all its original nutrients, enzymes, aromas and antioxidant properties. It may contain traces of wax or pollen, which are a natural part of its composition and a sign of its authenticity.

Mountain beekeeping and ecological values

This honey is the result of artisanal and sustainable beekeeping carried out by local producers in the Salines region. The hives are strategically placed at different altitudes to benefit from the diversity of flowering plants. Every jar is a tribute to responsible craftsmanship, environmental awareness, and traceability.
