Creamy heather honey from Spain's mountain heaths | 910g jar

Creamy heather honey from Spain's mountain heaths | 910 g jar

Our heather honey (miel de brezos crema) is created in Mediterranean mountain heaths and forest-edge highlands, where the heather blooms densely and gives the nectar a spicy, malty depth. In the jar it appears dark amber to reddish, on the palate full-bodied with a resinous, balsamic tone and a long, warm finish – exactly the kind of honey that gives dishes depth and warmth.

The special crema texture comes from gently stirring the naturally fine crystals: the honey stays firm yet spreadable and velvety in the mouth – without heating, without additives. Ideal with mature Manchego, sheep's & goat's cheese, on dark bread with salted butter, with oven vegetables (aubergine, pumpkin, root vegetables) or as a savoury accent in mustard vinaigrettes and glazes. For hot drinks, please stir in lukewarm so the heather aromas 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.
