Virgin Blossom Honey, Creamed, 750 g

Product detailed description

What is virgin honey

Virgin honey comes from combs that the bees built new in the given year. The beekeeper keeps the queen out of the upper part of the hive where the bees store honey, so she lays no eggs in these combs. The honey is extracted from clean, light comb in which no brood was ever raised.

From beekeeper Jiří Smolík

We buy the honey directly from Jiří Smolík of Honezovice, south of Plzeň. He is the fourth generation of a beekeeping family and looks after roughly 300 colonies. Virgin honey is his way of working: more new combs, more work for the bees and for the beekeeper.

Why it is creamed

Blossom honey crystallises naturally over time. Creaming is a purely mechanical process: the honey is stirred slowly and repeatedly, large crystals do not form and the honey gets a fine, creamy texture. It is not heated and nothing is added to it.
