About this Honey

A unique forest honey created not from blossom nectar, but from the sweet secretions of aphids feeding on tree sap (pine, fir, oak). Common in Europe (like German Black Forest honey), it is dark, dense, and rich in minerals. It lacks the acidity of floral honey, offering a deep, malty, and resinous flavor profile.
