Description

Savanna honey comes from the Atacora mountains, in northern Benin. Unlike our single-flower honeys, it is a multi-flower honey: from April to July, bees forage on the successive blossoms of more than 200 savanna species.

Atacora beekeepers harvest it by hand from traditional log hives handed down by their ancestors. The honey is then jarred without being heated or pasteurised.

What you will taste

A golden amber colour and a smooth, slightly thick texture. The nose is floral, wild and complex; the palate is rich, with a long finish. As the flowers change from one season to the next, each harvest has its own nuance: the signature of a living terroir.

How to enjoy it

On country bread at breakfast, in plain yoghurt or a herbal tea. With strong cheeses such as Munster or a mature Reblochon. In marinades for grilled or roasted meats, from rib of beef to Peking duck.

Why has my honey crystallised?

Crystallisation is a natural process: over time and in the cold, the glucose in honey forms small crystals. It changes neither the taste nor the quality, and is rather the sign of a honey that has not been heated. To make it more liquid, place the open jar in a warm water bath, without exceeding 40 °C.

How should I store my honey?

At room temperature, away from light and moisture, with the lid tightly closed. There is no need to refrigerate it. It keeps for 2 years.

How can I tell if your honey is pure?

Our honeys are 100% honey: nothing is added (no syrup, sugar or preservatives) and they are neither pasteurised nor heated. Each jar comes from a precise origin, shown on its product page: harvest region and blossoming period.

Why can the colour or texture vary from one jar to another?

Each harvest depends on the blossoming and the season. A raw honey, neither blended nor standardised, may change slightly in colour and texture from one harvest to the next: it is the mark of a natural product.

Is honey suitable for young children?

Like all honey, it is not recommended for children under one year old.

When will I receive my order?
