Robust mountain blossom honey from Spain's mountain forests | 910g jar

Our mountain blossom honey (Miel de bosque de montaña) combines mountain blossoms with honeydew from oak forests – primarily holm oak (Quercus ilex) and pedunculate oak (Quercus robur). The result is a powerfully dark profile with resinous-spicy and malty-caramel notes, a mineral impression, and a long, warm finish. It remains fluid for a long time and exhibits a velvety texture when stirred.

Ideal with mature sheep and goat cheeses, on dark bread with salted butter, in nut and pumpkin seed granola, with roasted flavors (e.g., roasted vegetables, game), or to add depth to dressings and sauces. Stir into hot drinks when lukewarm to preserve its aroma and character.

Located between the Ebro Valley and the foothills of the Moncayo Mountains (Aragón), this family-run beekeeping operation manages approximately 3,000 bee colonies at select locations in Spain. Thanks to migratory beekeeping, the colonies follow natural nectar flows – including orange blossom, rosemary, and thyme in Aragón, lavender in summer locations, and heather in higher regions. The apiary sites are chosen far from intensive agriculture, ensuring bee-friendly, natural environments.
In processing, Tío Juan Cruz relies on traditional steps adapted to modern, gentle techniques: uncapping, extracting, filtering, and maturing, followed by bottling – this preserves the varietal character and aroma. The result: a clear, typical honey with a delicate aroma and transparent origin.

Note on crystallization: Pure honey crystallizes naturally depending on the variety and temperature. If necessary, gently liquefy it in a water bath at a low temperature.
