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

Our mountain-blossom honey (miel de bosque de montaña) combines mountain flowers with honeydew from oak forests – above all holm oak (Quercus ilex) and English oak (Quercus robur). The result is a powerfully dark profile with resinous, spicy and malty-caramel notes, mineral in impression and with a long, warm finish. It stays fluid for a long time and shows a velvety melt when stirred.

Ideal with mature sheep's and goat's cheeses, on dark bread with salted butter, in nut and pumpkin-seed granola, with roasted flavours (e.g. oven vegetables, game) or as depth in dressings and sauces. In hot drinks, stir in lukewarm so the aroma and character are preserved.

All honeys at auteniQ come from a single family business: Apícola Cuartero in Fuendejalón at the foot of the Moncayo (Aragón). What Juan Cruz began in 1981 as a small apiary is now run by the third generation – the honeys bear his name: Miel del Tío Juan Cruz. Around 3,000 bee colonies migrate each year, following old tradition, to the respective flowering regions of Spain, from mountain heaths to the orange groves of the Levante. No pesticides around the hives. Bottled single-variety, with no blending of outside product. Each vintage therefore tastes different – weather and flowering time shape every harvest individually.

Note on crystallisation: Pure honey crystallises naturally depending on variety and temperature. If needed, gently liquefy in a water bath at low temperature.
