Gorse

About this Honey

Sourced from the Gorse shrub, common in Europe and parts of the Pacific Northwest (where it is invasive). It blooms in early spring and produces a honey with a very distinct aroma—often compared to coconut or almond. The honey is golden and rich, with a flavor that is subtle yet nutty.
