Mrs Darlington’s Sliced Beetroot

Every region has its own unique bouquet of blooms. This gives local and regional honey a unique flavour, like a snapshot of your area’s flora. You’re tasting literally tasting the landscape, and it’s delicious. Another thing to note is blending – or the lack of it. Big brands often mix honey from various places. But with local honey, there’s no mixing. It’s pure and straightforward. You get a consistent, genuine taste. In a nutshell? Local honey isn’t just sweet. It’s a genuine flavour journey, showcasing the purity and charm of its home.

Allergen Benefits

Seasonal sniffles from too much pollen in the air can benefit from local honey and its potential to help with local allergens. Bees are diligent little workers. As they flit from flower to flower, collecting nectar, they also pick up tiny amounts of pollen. This pollen eventually ends up in the honey stores back in the hive before being harvested for us to eat. So when you’re eating, you’re introducing your body to these small amounts of local pollen. Over time, this acts as a mini, natural exposure therapy. When allergy season rolls around, your body becomes accustomed to the pollen, making you less reactive. Think of it as training your immune system to be less dramatic when it meets these pollens out in the wild.
