Black Bee Honey British Winter Honey 42g

Black Bee Honey British Winter is a raw, set ivy honey from Black Bee Honey, a B Corp certified honey company in Frome, Somerset that buys from named beekeepers rather than blending, and does not heat its honey. This is the 42g mini jar, enough for a few mornings of toast and small enough to slip into a hamper.

The bees forage it from ivy on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, in early winter, when almost everything else has stopped flowering. The producer describes it as fresh, herbal and lightly menthol, with a sweet, ripe finish: light in colour but heavy on flavour. Ivy honey sets in the jar to a crumbly, fudge-like texture, so this is not a runny honey, and a one-star Great Taste Award went to the winter honey.

The producer's suggestion is hot buttered toast, and it is a good one. Spread it on Miller's Toast Fig & Sultana, stir a spoonful into a cup of Tregothnan English Breakfast Tea, or use it in a marinade where its herbal edge has something to push against.

A 42g glass jar. No major allergens declared. Not suitable for babies under twelve months. Store at room temperature. The producer gives 2% of turnover to planting wildflower meadows.
