High Meadow Honey
High Meadow Honey
Above the tree line the season lasts six weeks. Thyme, sainfoin, clover and a hundred alpine flowers bloom together and are gone; the colonies that forage them, in rock crevices between 2,300 and 2,600 metres, make a pale, bright honey that tastes of altitude.
The shortest season we harvest and the smallest allocation. Never heated, never fine-filtered. Sealed in beeswax with its batch number and laboratory report.
The wild colonies we follow across Anatolia give about four kilograms of honey a year in total. This jar is part of that four kilograms, which is why it is numbered.
From the mountain
Six weeks of flowers, one jar.
Bright and floral, thyme and cut hay, a cool herbal lift and a short clean finish. Crystallises early into a fine cream. For the morning.
