The bees work holly and hawthorn as the season opens, then bluebells and forest flowers - a spring forage quite unlike the coastal meadows and estate parkland elsewhere in our range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoft set honey\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis honey sets naturally into a velvety, spreadable texture rather than staying runny. That's down to the forage - spring nectar sources are higher in glucose, and glucose-rich honey crystallises into a fine, smooth set on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWe don't do anything to make it happen. No seeding, no whipping, no processing. It simply sets the way this particular honey from this particular wood wants to set, and the result is a honey that goes onto toast without running off it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSingle origin honey\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMost British honey is pooled. A season's harvest from dozens of sites goes into one tank, gets blended to a consistent flavour and sold as one product. We do the opposite. Every apiary is harvested, extracted and jarred separately, and the label tells you exactly which one you're holding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt's more work and it means we can never promise two batches taste identical. That's the point. A soft set woodland spring honey and a runny coastal meadow honey have almost nothing in common, and blending them together would throw out the only thing that makes local honey worth buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRaw New Forest Honey\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNothing is done to this honey between the hive and the jar except coarse straining to take out bits of wax. It is never heated, never pasteurised, never fine-filtered, never blended with anything. No additives, no syrups, nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThat matters because heat and fine filtration strip out the pollen, enzymes and aromatic compounds that give honey its character and its traceability. Honey with the pollen removed can't be traced back to where it was made. Ours can - down to a single copse in the New Forest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOur single-origin New Forest honey has won multiple Great Taste awards, including a three-star award in 2023 - the only British honey producer to receive one that year.
