Natural single-flower heather honey, rich in minerals and with an intense flavor<\/h2>\n

Heather honey<\/strong> is one of the varieties of honey most valued by lovers of authentic and intense flavors. Obtained from the nectar of heather flowers (Erica)<\/strong> that bloom in spring in wooded and wild areas, this honey is characterized by its mineral richness<\/strong> and properties recognized both in popular culture and in gastronomy. <\/p>\n

At Abellaires Empordanesos, we collect heather honey in an artisanal<\/strong> way, respecting the rhythm of nature and taking care of every detail of the extraction process to guarantee a pure product, unpasteurized and without any additives. It is a 100% natural<\/strong> honey, produced by bees in a privileged environment and with a specific flowering, which allows us to obtain a high quality monofloral honey. <\/p>\n

    This honey can crystallize<\/strong> naturally, especially if kept in cool environments. This crystallization is not a defect, but a sign of purity and absence of industrial treatments. To return it to its original liquid state, simply heat it gently in a water bath<\/strong> , without exceeding 40 \u00b0C<\/strong> , in order to preserve all its nutritional and therapeutic properties. <\/p>\n
