Irish Heather Honey

Irish Heather Honey, produced in the Comeragh Mountains, Co. Waterford. This honey is pure raw Irish heather honey from our own honeybees. We produce small batches of exquisite honey.

Our heather honey is dark in colour and has a powerful taste and aroma. Our bees make it from nectar from ling heather, Calluna vulgaris. In the end of summer, we move a select few colonies up to the mountains to forage on the ling blossoms and produce this most sought after honey. Heather honey is jelly-like in consistency and has tiny air bubbles in it. Because it has a strong woody and floral taste it is delicious with a chunk of cheese and biscuits or with yoghurt and fruit. It is also delicious on its own. Heather honey makes a wonderful gift for a honey lover.
