Mountain Honey

Our mountain honey is made by apis mellifera migratory bees from the forest region of the Kashmir valley. The main nectar sources of this honey are van Tulsi, Sulai flowers and some wild herbs. They have a lot of nutritional value and medicinal properties. When the flowers bloom, the honeybees come and forage on the nectar of the blossoms and give the goodness of the plant as honey. This honey is thick and light golden in color. It is a great source of antioxidant and has good antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. The significant health benefits of mountain honey are that it cures urinary infections and improves the immune system. 

Honey crystallization: a natural process 

Crystallization is one of the best identities of authentic raw honey. It is a natural process and not a sign of adulteration or spoilage. The main reason for crystallization is (f/g) fructose/glucose and the (g/w) glucose/water ratio. If honey has high f/g and low g/w, then it will slow down crystallization and if glucose is high then crystallization will be fast. It all depends on the honey’s source of nectar and the flora that the bees have foraged. 

Crystallized honey can be consumed so we strongly recommend using crystallized raw honey in the same form, without any heat treatment. 

No antibiotics & sugar 

We procure all our honey varieties from wild forest beehives where the bees are not treated with antibiotics or fed sugar syrup. 

Varied honey texture, colour, and taste 

The texture, colour, and taste will change between different batches in the same variety of honey as well. 

Texture can be dependent on the floral source. Color can also be affected by age as honey generally gets darker with age and another factor is the crystallization process. Honey generally appears lighter when crystallized. 

Pure raw honey straight from a hive is full of unique flavor notes based on its region and season. 

We invite you to experience pure honey just as nature intended.
