Asterios - Arbutus Honey 1kg (Raw, Organic, Runny)
Raw Honey Shop Asterios - Arbutus Honey 1kg (Raw, Organic, Runny)
Description Asterios raw organic arbutus honey is an incredibly deep tasting type. It is quite bitter, like roasted coffee beans and bitter dark chocolate. It has a beautiful after taste, but many are put off by its medicinal main flavour. This is a connoisseur variety for those with a love of unique and potent honey.  It is one of the most overt tasting varieties we have experienced! Colour: This particular honey is a very dark brown when runny with a shade of purple and a hint of deep red in the light. Where does the honey come from? This variety of Arbutus honey comes from the northern mountain ranges of Madrid in Spain known as Sierra De Guadarrama. Who produces this honey? The bees of Antonio Simone, a 4th generation beekeeper who takes pride in producing honey in a traditional way without adding or taking away anything. Antonio's hives are based in the mountain ranges north of Madrid, his beekeeping practices and the land he has his hives on have been certified as organic by the Committee of Organic Agriculture in Madrid. What about the plant the honey comes from? The Arbutus unedo bush is an evergreen, also known as modrono in Spanish and is nicknamed 'strawberry tree' due to its fruit that look a little like strawberry. However, these berries are not overly sweet, leaning more to acidic, but they are apparently very refreshing. The fruit of this bush is used in traditional Chinese medicine. Common uses: Arbutus honey is known as a gourmet honey by connoisseurs and those with adventurous tastes, so it really adds a unique flavour to dishes. Savoury foods really benefit from its rich, bittersweet taste. Arbutus honey facts: Arbutus honey is a rare variety and one of the most potent tasting types you can find. A unique and rare type that is only found in good quantity in 3 places in the world, Portugal, Sardinia and Greece.  It contains homogentisic acid which gives it its brown pigment as well as other unique properties. Please know that raw honey does crystalise and this is a natural process that occurs mainly due to the natural glucose in raw honey.

Antonio - Heather Honey 970g (Raw, Organic, Runny)
Raw Honey Shop Antonio - Heather Honey 970g (Raw, Organic, Runny)
Description Prize Winner in the Great Taste Awards 2017 According to the judges: "Heavily aromatic. Treacly, almost fudgy in texture. There's an almost molasses richness and tinge of bitterness. Some deep meadowy flavours - more herbaceous than fruity, we feel. It has length and persistence." and "Deep brown, glossy, thick honey. The honey has a caramel aroma, and the dried fruit flavour comes through well and is rich and balanced. We would see this working well for a number of purposes - fruit, yoghurt or on toast." This is an amazingly deep tasting shrub honey; it has a depth of flavour with a pronounced bitterness similar to dark chocolate or black tea. It comes from the bees feeding on the low lying heather shrubs often on mountainous terrain. Heather is a favourite plant of bees. Despite not being a tree, heather honey has properties of a tree honey, namely its potent taste and dark colour. If you have not had heather honey previously, we would recommend trying a 50g jar before purchasing a full-size jar as the flavour can be quite intense. Why Raw Honey is different to Processed Honey - Raw honey generally means the honey has not been processed, it has come from the hive to the jar with minimal interference. Most supermarket honey is highly processed to make it look more attractive, it has been drained of pollen, often heated and blended. Raw honey tends to vary from batch to batch, this is because it is not processed in a factory, filtered or heated to look homogeneous, it changes with the season and climate and what the bees feed on, we will update this fact sheet according to which batch we currently have in. Colour - This particular honey is brown in colour, slightly red in the light. Runny State - Heather honey tends not to stay runny for long due to a high glucose content. Set State - Heather honey develops small to medium crystals fairly quickly after harvesting, it is quite rare to get it completely runny. Honey Facts - This particular type of heather honey comes from the plants erica vagans and erica cinerea. Heather has 2 main genus, calluna also known as ling and erica or ericaceae, both are noted for being some of the best honey varieties you can obtain. Origin - This variety of heather honey comes from the northern mountain ranges of Madrid in Spain known as Sierra De Guadarrama. Plant / Tree The heather shrub also known as brezo in Spanish is a small mountain hugging evergreen which produces many flowers and loves acidic soils.Common Uses Heather honey is particularly good to use in different recipes, such as: Greek yoghurt, ice creams, glazes for meats and to add a unique zing and depth to a dish.Beekeeper - This heather honey comes from Antonio, a 4th generation beekeeper who takes pride in producing honey in a traditional way, without adding or taking away anything. Antonios hives are based in the mountain ranges of north of Madrid, the land he has his hives on has been certified as organic by the Committee of Organic Agriculture in Madrid. Please know that raw honey does crystalise and this is a natural process that occurs mainly due to the natural glucose in raw honey.

Antonio - Chestnut Honey 970g (Raw, Organic)
Raw Honey Shop Antonio - Chestnut Honey 970g (Raw, Organic)
Description Antonio's Raw Organic Chestnut Honey is a deep and malty-tasting tree honey. It has a beautiful, rich and nutty flavour, which many people adore. This honey comes from bees feeding on sweet chestnut trees. It is quite different from the blossom varieties which are light and subtle - this is dark and more potent.  More on the flavour: Antonio's raw organic chestnut honey is a beautiful, deep-flavoured variety. It has slight caramel notes as well as a deep sweetness and a touch of bitterness too. The nutty flavour of the chestnut carries through as well as a taste a little similar to maple syrup but slightly more rich and malty. Chestnut can lend a bitter taste to honey but not always, it is known to be one of the most varied types of honey in taste, differing greatly from one area to another and from one season to the next. Colour of this batch : Mid to dark brown, a slight red in the light.   Where does the honey come from?  This variety of chestnut honey comes from the mountains around Burgos in northern-central Spain. Who produces the honey?  The bees of Antonio Simone, a 4th generation beekeeper who takes pride in producing honey in a traditional way without adding or taking away anything. Antonio's hives are mainly based in the mountains north of Madrid. His beekeeping practices and the land he has his hives on have been certified as organic by the Committee of Organic Agriculture in Madrid What about the plant the honey comes from? The sweet chestnut tree, also known as Castano in Spanish, is a large deciduous tree which produces edible nuts. The bees feed on the tree's sap and blossoms. Common Uses: Chestnut honey is particularly good to use in different recipes, such as: cakes, cookies, desert toppings, ice creams, warm honey teas, salads and meat glazes.  Also, it is delicious poured over cheeses. This is because of the rich, nutty and malty flavour it lends. More Chestnut Honey Facts: Chestnut honey is often higher in fructose than other types, this serves as good source of energy. Hence, a spoon of chestnut honey helps to relieve fatigue immediately. Please note that this current batch of Chestnut does appear to be crystalising very quickly.  If you have found that your honey has started to crystalise and you would prefer it liquid you can do this:- Put it on a radiator and drape a tea towel over the jars. Then leave it overnight. If it's not liquid by morning then leave it a little longer. You might think that the heat from this process will damage the honey - the important thing is that you don't heat the honey beyond 40 degrees (which is how hot the hive can get in the summer when the bees are at work evaporating moisture to thicken the honey). If the radiators are very hot then put something like a book under the jars and then drape a tea towel over the jars. The book will protect the honey from direct heat above 40 degrees from the radiator and the tea towel will ensure that hot air can circulate around the honey helping to liquefy it.

Raw Honey Shop Dimitris - Greek Oak Honey - 500g (17.5+ Active)(Raw, Organic, Crystallised)
Description Awarded the coveted Platinum Award at the 2020 London Honey Awards Certified Organic, wilderness honey from traditional award winning Greek beekeeper. In the Forests on Mount Holomontas, the Oak trees produce a sap, which the bees of Dimitri and Vicky make into a thick and spectacular honey. Platinum Award winning honey in the London Honey Awards and the Great Taste judges said of the flavour: "This is a grown up and sophisticated honey, that is very special indeed... This honey is dark and sultry, with a thick and syrupy body & complex bittersweet aroma."  Also: "An unctuously thick, glossy, deep amber honey with characteristic rich muscovado notes on the nose - but the palate is a surprise with rich, woody caramel a plenty but also a bright lift, almost citrussy, presumably from the herbal foraging, which adds a further dimension and lifts this to another level. A really great example we felt." The Raw Honey Shop is proud to be the only UK stockist. About the beekeepers: Vicky and Dimitris' bees work the trees and plants in a Natura 2000 reserve in the area of Mount Holomontas in Chalkidiki.

Asterios - Greek Artisan Carob Honey - 1kg (Raw, Organic, Runny)
Raw Honey Shop Asterios - Greek Artisan Carob Honey - 1kg (Raw, Organic, Runny)
Description This Raw Greek Carob Honey is a beautiful, deep-tasting tree honey, with a warm chocolatey flavour and a hint of smoky wood. We've been searching for a good quality Carob honey for a while and we are truly delighted to discover this Carob Honey from Kostas. It comes from Carob trees on the Island of Crete. The bees feed on carob trees in the Mediterranean to produce this honey, different from the blossom honeys as it has a more complex and prominent taste.It also crystallises more quickly than some other tree honeys, and it has a lighter colour. Colour: This particular honey is a medium brown amber shade when runny and turns to a creamy light brown when set. Where does the honey come from? This variety of carob honey comes from the isle of Crete in Greece, a largely untouched, wild and diverse landscape. What about the plant the honey comes from? The carob tree is a flowering evergreen tree. It is actually a member of the pea family and produces beautiful tasting legumes which are often used as a low fat chocolate substitute. The trees are male and female and occasionally hermaphroditic  Only the female trees produce the legumes. The trees flower in the late summer, early autumn. It is one of the last honeys of the year. Who produces the honey? Asterios is one of the most genuine people you could ever meet. His aim is always to present to us the highest quality honey possible. He is luckily enough to have an amazing network of fellow artisan Greek beekeepers. This honey is bought to you by one such beekeeper, Kostas from Crete. For Asterios and Kostas beekeeping is an art and they are excited that their honey will be appreciated in the UK. Common Uses: Carob honey is particularly good to use in recipes such as: glazes for meats, cakes, flapjacks, breads and teas. Carob Honey Facts: Carob honey is a unique variety which is quite rare and difficult to find. It has beautiful dark amber colour and delicious chocolatey overtones. Please know that raw honey does crystallise and this is a natural process that occurs mainly due to the natural glucose in raw honey.
Asterios - Greek Artisan Oak and Chestnut Honeycomb - 200g (Raw, Organic, Runny)
Raw Honey Shop Asterios - Greek Artisan Oak and Chestnut Honeycomb - 200g (Raw, Organic, Runny)
Description This Raw Greek Oak and Chestnut Honeycomb is perfect for those who love dark, strong honeys. Honeycomb is the best way to eat honey because honeycomb is the honey exactly as it was in the hive. It contains all the good nutritious bits - such as bee bread (fermented pollen mixed with honey and enzymes), royal jelly and propolis in the cells. More on the flavour: This is a beautiful combination of the flavours of Oak and Chestnut honey. It starts with a dark, black tea tannin-like foretaste, easing into a very sweet and delicious main taste. It has a certain bitterness along with caramel notes coming in around an essence of deep, black raisins and prunes, leaving a slightly ferrous tingle on the tongue. Oak honey is a very deep and rich tasting tree honey; it has a fruitiness as well as a deep woody flavour. Tree honey tends to be dark, have a stronger flavour and are less likely to set due to a relatively low glucose content. Chestnut honey is a beautiful, deep-flavoured variety. It has slight caramel notes as well as a deep sweetness and a touch of bitterness too. The nutty flavour of the chestnut carries through as well as a taste a little similar to maple syrup but slightly more rich and malty. Chestnut can lend a bitter taste to honey but not always, it is known to be one of the most varied types of honey in taste, differing greatly from one area to another and from one season to the next. The two together, Oak and Chestnut, work beautifully. You will find it a little chewy to eat - but you can swallow the wax, it is perfectly safe. Colour: This particular honeycomb is a dark honey going ruby-red in the light.   Where does the honeycomb come from? This honeycomb comes from a National Park in Greece, a truly wild and uncontaminated place. The location is near the village of Byronia, Serres, a small village at the foot of Mount Kerkini, close by a lake and above the river Strymon. It is within the Kerkini National Park that includes Lake Kerkini and the river Strymon, and runs from the lake to the Greek-Bulgarian border. The national park is one of the most important wetlands in Europe in terms of biodiversity and it is part of a big European network of nature protection areas. Because of the diverse ecosystem and the minimal human intervention, this is a true wilderness area for the bees to collect pollen and make splendid honey.  Who produces this honeycomb? Asterios is one of the most genuine people you could ever meet. His aim is always to present to us the highest quality honey possible. He is lucky enough to have an amazing network of fellow artisan Greek beekeepers. This honey is bought to you by one such beekeeper from Asterios' network, called Vangelis. For Asterios and Vangelis beekeeping is an art and they are excited that their honey will be appreciated in the UK. Please know that raw honey does crystalillse and this is a natural process that occurs mainly due to the natural glucose in raw honey.

Wholefood Colostrum Capsules 90 count - 500 mg capsules (Immune Tree)

Ok I love colostrum and the immune tree are brilliant for me ! I spend an awful lot on supplements but I always have my immune tree colostrum and it definitely improves my immune system , I suffer from Addison's ( major and total adrenal insufficiency) I don't produce any of my own cortisol and it's exhausting even with replacing with hydrocortisone as it's a fixed dose three times daily and not my body regulating the dose. However since I began to take colostrum every day I have indeed noticed some increase in stamina and definitely improved immunity. I'd highly recommend this colostrum to any one and everyone wanting that extra boost for the immune system.

Take the mucus-melting, phlegm-expelling properties of Free The Lungs, combine with the cough-disappearing effect of Golden Air, add the ability to breathe deeper, and I still would not have encapsulated all the benefits that Young Lungs seems to provide. This formula has blown me away. For total respiratory health, this is THE product.
