Organic honey from the honeydew of spruce and fir trees – robust, aromatic, and liquid for a long time.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDie Honigwanderer Forest Honey\u003c\/strong\u003e is a robust organic honey made from the honeydew of spruce and fir trees, collected by German migratory beekeepers. A true raw honey: gently extracted, strained, unheated, in a 250g jar, certified according to EU organic standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--nl--\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForest honey from Die Honigwanderer\u003c\/strong\u003e is created via a detour that surprises many. The bees do not collect it from blossoms, but from the needles and branches of the trees. Small plant-sucking insects like aphids live there. They tap into the sugar-rich sap of the spruce and fir trees and excrete the excess as sweet droplets. The bees collect this honeydew and turn it into honey. Because honeydew has a different composition than floral nectar, the honey made from it tastes different as well: darker, more aromatic, and less sweet. Whether and when honeydew is available depends heavily on the weather and the year. For migratory beekeepers, this means: the colonies must be in the right forest at the right moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe producer describes this honey as robust and aromatic. The focus is on a spicy note, complemented by a hint of caramel. In the background are subtle resinous notes that recall the forest from which it originates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sweetness is less dominant than in light floral honeys. This gives it a more mature and complex character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eA practical advantage: according to the manufacturer, it remains liquid for a long time. It is easy to dose and spread. Those looking for a mild, delicate honey for children will find it too strong. Those who enjoy dark bread, strong tea, and tart flavors will find their match here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the manufacturer, it is ideal for robust bread, tea, or straight from the spoon. Its spiciness is best brought out on a slice of rye or whole-grain bread with butter. It is a good companion for a strong black tea, a rooibos, or a chai. Let hot drinks cool down slightly first so that the aroma is preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the kitchen, it plays to its strengths in savory dishes. It works well in marinades for game, duck, or pork belly, in a honey-mustard sauce, or for glazing root vegetables. A small spoonful provides a beautiful contrast to spicy mountain cheese or a robust blue cheese. It adds depth to gingerbread or fruit bread dough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eStore the jar in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. If the honey does crystallize, the manufacturer states this is natural; it will become liquid again in a warm water bath at a maximum of 40 °C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eNote: The only ingredient is organic honey; it contains no major allergens that require labeling. Honey is generally not suitable for babies under twelve months old.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drizzle a spoonful over a piece of aged mountain cheese with a few walnuts. The resinous note of the honey pairs surprisingly well with the spiciness of the cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eDie Honigwanderer process their honey as little as possible. It is gently extracted, strained, and bottled without heating. It is not fine-filtered, which is why the manufacturer refers to it as a true raw honey. Nothing is blended either: each variety goes into the jar on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bee colonies are located in selected, near-natural foraging areas in Germany. They travel to where nature is in full bloom, which in the case of forest honey means the coniferous forests. Today, the Goldnote beekeeping farm from Röhrnbach in the Bavarian Forest continues the brand as its organic line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis honey is for anyone who likes it robust. It goes well on farmhouse bread, in winter cooking, and on a cheese board, and it makes a good gift for people who already know all the light honeys. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/edelkastanienhonig-4280000862068\"\u003esweet chestnut honey\u003c\/a\u003e is even more tart and dark. As a mild counterpart, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/akazienhonig-4280000862013\"\u003eacacia honey\u003c\/a\u003e also remains liquid for a long time.

It is not suitable if you want to sweeten tea or yogurt only subtly – for that, it is too spicy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHoneydew from spruce and fir trees, unheated and unblended – the aromatic forest honey from Die Honigwanderer for robust bread and strong tea.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Die Honigwanderer","offers":[{"title":"250 g","offer_id":57548287902028,"sku":"033JON204","price":9.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1058\/3903\/4700\/files\/033JON204.png?v=1791196154","url":"https:\/\/leniundhans.at\/en\/products\/waldhonig-4280000862044","provider":"Leni \u0026 Hans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
