A wide variety
Honey is produced from the nectar of flowers and can have many variations of colour, flavour and aroma. This is determined by the type of flower where the bee gathers nectar. For example, the flowers of the bright yellow oilseed rape plant give a light creamy honey, whilst the fir tree gives a stronger darker coloured honey.
Pure and natural
Honey is a natural carbohydrate food and one of the purest foods known to humankind. It is high in energy and contains natural sugars, vitamins, minerals, proteins and antibiotic agents.

Which honey?
The variety of honey available can often be confusing. So, which honey is the most beneficial to buy? Often it is down to personal taste. The colour and texture of a particular honey varies depending where the bee has gathered nectar. For example, honey from a pine forest will be darker in colour and stronger in taste, whereas honey from the bright yellow oil-seed rape flower will be a very light colour and creamy in texture.
When it first comes from the hive, all honey is runny in texture. After bottling, it naturally starts to crystalize and this is a sign of a pure, high quality honey. Honey which remains very clear on the shelf has often been heat-treated, destroying valuable nutrients.
