A natural treasure from the mountains
Heather is a wild plant that thrives in mountain soils, where bees find a clean, nectar-rich environment. Heather honey is characterised by its powerful flavour, with mineral notes and a slight bitterness that distinguishes it from other varieties. Its aromatic intensity and dark colour are the hallmarks of a pure honey, rich in minerals and natural antioxidants.
At Hacienda El Espino, this honey is harvested with full respect for the bees and the environment, following traditional methods that ensure its quality and authenticity. It captures the essence of the natural landscape from which it comes — mountainous, wild, and full of life.
Traditional production without industrial processes
Hacienda El Espino Heather Honey is produced using artisanal techniques that preserve its original qualities. Once harvested, the honey is cold-extracted and jarred directly, without pasteurisation or aggressive filtration. This method keeps its aroma, natural enzymes, and creamy texture intact.
The result is a pure honey, free from additives or preservatives, that retains the authentic taste of heather and the unique properties that make it stand out among wild honeys.
A full-bodied flavour with character
Heather honey is known for its strong flavour, with hints of malt, liquorice, and nuts. On the palate, it is dense, slightly bitter, and has a long, lingering finish that evokes damp wood and forest aromas. Its bold profile makes it perfect for those who prefer honey with strength and less sweetness.
It pairs wonderfully with mature cheeses, natural yoghurts, herbal teas, or roasted meats. It is also used in artisanal baking to add a rustic, aromatic touch. Its versatility makes it an essential ingredient for those who appreciate honey with identity and depth.
Commitment to nature
At Hacienda El Espino, beekeeping is understood as a way of coexisting with the environment. The hives are located in natural areas, far from intensive agriculture, ensuring honey free from chemical residues. This commitment to sustainability and biodiversity is a cornerstone of the estate’s philosophy, which prioritises respect for bees and the ecosystem.
