An organic honey with a Pyrenean soul<\/h2>\n

Our organic honey<\/strong> from the Salines Massif<\/strong> comes from one of the most unique and wild areas of the Alt Empord\u00e0<\/strong>, where Mediterranean influences meet Pyrenean landscapes. Harvested in spring, this honey reflects the richness of mountain flora and the values of sustainable local beekeeping.<\/p>\n

Origin: Salines Massif, a mountain borderland<\/h2>\n

Located between the Alt Empord\u00e0 and Northern Catalonia, the Salines Massif<\/strong> 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<\/strong> and forest honeydews<\/strong>. In this pristine environment, bees produce a certified organic honey<\/strong> that captures the wild character of the mountains.<\/p>\n

Floral diversity and mountain personality<\/h2>\n

The wide range of nectar sources gives this honey a rich, layered profile. Heather<\/strong> (Erica spp.) brings depth and intensity, rosemary<\/strong> adds fresh and herbal notes, while chestnuts<\/strong> and honeydew<\/strong> contribute darker and more aromatic tones. The result is a honey with a sweet base, slightly salty undertones and a mildly bitter finish<\/strong> \u2014 ideal for those seeking complexity and authenticity.<\/p>\n

Certified organic honey<\/h2>\n

This organic honey<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

Certified organic and unprocessed<\/h2>\n

Our honey is certified organic<\/strong> under EU regulations. It has not been heated or filtered<\/strong>, 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.<\/p>\n

Mountain beekeeping and ecological values<\/h2>\n

This honey is the result of artisanal and sustainable beekeeping<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/h2>\n
