Pure Raw Honey 1 kg (Buckwheat)

It was well packed and arrived safe. I never tried raw honey or buckwheat honey - a bit worried after reading some feedback. I understood that crystallisation is a proof of quality and about 1/6 on the top of my jar had crystallised hard layer (my honey was harvested in last summer of 2023). The honey colour is how it looks on the item description photo. The honey has tangy scent as described though I never had experience with it before. But I would not say it is overwhelming. The taste is earthy & sweet; texture is not as runny as "pure honey" I used to buy from supermarket. I found pairing this honey with cinnamon works very well - enhances the sweetness but almost unnoticeable of the unique scent; also I tried mixing it with raw apple vinegar drink I make - works fine. I did not use honey for apple vinegar drink before but I found there are some health benefits so I shall see!

There isn't a facility on this review page to review the different honeys separately, so have reviewed the three types that I have bought under their respective titles, because they really are different from each other.I love the way these honeys have been produced. They taste like the comb has just been uncapped, the honey spun out and gone straight from the centrifuge into the jar, Live, unfiltered, unpasteurised, raw. Just as nature intended.I used to keep bees, and having been lucky enough to be able to 'rob' them of some of their stores after the Spring and Summer 'flows' on most years, I reckoned I could tell a good honey from an indifferent one.These are enviably good honeys, beautifully produced in the 'old fashioned' way.Linden Blossom...Oh, my word, I wasn't expecting this! This honey is fresh. So fresh, that although it's starting to granulate, it's still a soft, buttery set. When you open the jar, you can still smell that wonderful fragrance of the beeswax comb the honey has been extracted from. This is a stunning Summer flow honey. I can definitely taste limeflower, (Linden blossom is just the more poetic name for limeflower, nothing to do with lime fruit). The bees have been making good use of the lime blossom and there's plenty in there.I'm sure I can taste sunflower too, as well as blackberry blossom. Well, this beautiful honey is so fabulously floral, just bursting with Summer flower nectar.Blueberry,Lingonberry & Cranberry....This again, is amazing - a darker, spicier honey than the Limeflower and a totally different taste. Still the same soft, buttery set with the fragrance of freshly uncapped comb, but a real whack of fruit blossom, less floral, more juicy with almost wine like notes, and typical of honeys produced by bees working on plants flowering on wet, acidic soils. Its truly lovely.I've actually never tasted honey quite like this, it's like some kind of alchemy.For once, I am speechless.March '16 update: I've just received a repeat order of this Blueberry honey, and it's just as lovely. I'm looking forward to the 2016 harvest.Buckwheat blossom..A dark, buttery set honey, again with the fragrance of a freshly uncapped comb. This honey has a soft, fudge like taste, with notes of red clover and sweet chestnut. It's good. Would be a perfect partner for sweetening fruit puddings and using instead of golden syrup in recipes for a massive flavour boost. If I was going to make mead, this buckwheat one is the honey I'd choose.I'm amazed that the beekeepers of Lithuania could bear to part with even a drop of this honey, but I'm very glad you did.Thank you guys, and your bees.

A lot of honeys are so sweet you lose any taste of the honey. I have bought this honey for over a year now and would not buy anything else. It is difficult to describe. If it was a red wine it would robust. So full of flavour, texture and not too sweet.

I eat a spoonful of this on my breakfast every day and so these large bars offer very good value of nice creamy tasty honey. Would definitely buy again.Updated review. Still buying this regularly, same taste, same quality, great packaging. Still a shame it's significantly higher cost than a couple of years back but there again everything is and still much better value than the lower quality off the shelf supermarket honey.

Honey is outstanding ❤️ will definitely be buying again and lots of it 😁

First time for buckwheat honey for me, and wow!It’s so rich with flavour and depth, thick texture, so good for you too as it’s raw, a pot of gold!From now on the one I will repeatedly buy.

Wow the taste is divine love this forest honey

If you are, like myself, trying raw/local honey for the first time I suggest you choose the 'Wild Flower' flavour.I have tried both Wild Flower and Forest Field flavours.Wild Flower: Pale white/yellow in colour. Very sweet and has a familiar flavour to typical shop bought honey. Completely delicious and everything I hoped for. The seller told me this is the mildest flavour, but it is still intensely sweet and has some other flavour notes to it.Forest Field: Dark brown in colour. Has a very pungent smell similar to blue cheese or a barn of goats. Having read about this online, this is quite normal for raw honey and is harmless. As such I suggest avoiding this flavour unless you are familiar with raw honey and will not be put off by the smell. If you read the negative reviews on here most of them talk about this smell. I can eat this honey but it is less enjoyable and I intend to use it for mixing into hand soap etc, ie for the medicinal benefits rather than flavour.I hope this helps you make the right decision on which flavour to choose.
