Made slowly.
Harvested once.
Our hives are carefully placed across the Serra do Caldeirão, where Iberian honeybees gather nectar from wild flowers. From there, the honey follows a slow and natural process from hive to jar.
01
gathering nectar
Bees gather nectar form wild lavender and other native flowers across the Serra.
02
inside the hive
The nectar passes from forager bee to house bee and gradualy becomes honey.
03
one harvest
We harvest only once a year, when the honey is fully mature.
04
into the jar
Raw, unfiltered and bottled with as little invertation as possible.
