About Propolis:
Propolis (bee glue) is a resinous mixture that honey bees produce by mixing their own enzymes and beeswax with sap and resin gathered from tree buds, sap flows, or other sources. Propolis is believed to be antibacterial, to prevent diseases and parasites from entering the hive and to inhibit fungal growth.
The composition of propolis varies from hive to hive and season to season. Normally, it is dark brown in colour. "Typical" northern temperate propolis has approximately 150 constituents, primarily resins and vegetable balsams (50%), waxes (30%), essential oils (10%), and pollen (5%). Propolis also contains persistent lipophilic acaricides, a natural pesticide that deters mite infestations. Other flavonoids commonly present include galangin and pinocembrin.
Propolis is being researched for the potential development of new drugs focusing on a variety of its properties, including those for possible immunomodulatory, anti-diabetic and anti-ulcer applications.
Storage: Before use, keep in a cool, dry place, not in direct sunlight.
COMPOSITION: vegetable soap base* (made of palm and coconut oil, water, glycerin, diacetate, salt and sodium glutamate - a natural amino acid derivative), Propol-mel propolis tincture* (1%), lavender essential oil*, virgin Arbequina olive oil* and sweet almond oil.

Any information about the plant the honey comes from? The wild lavender plant is a herbaceous perennial shrub, sometimes known as cantueso in Spanish. You find it growing everywhere on mountain sides and the uncultivated common land that is so widespread in Spain. The oil from lavender is widely used as an essential oil in aromatherapy, because it is said to aid relaxation and sleep.
Common Uses: Wild lavender honey is good for protecting and soothing abrasions and burns (although obviously see your doctor if it is a bad abrasion or burn). It is also especially good poured over cheese! And because it is so mild children love it on its own and appreciate the subtle taste.
More Wild Lavender honey facts: The Greeks and Romans used it to scent their baths and their linen. The word œlavender is from the Latin verb œlavare, which means œto wash. Wild lavender honey is a favourite of many due to its beautiful delicate flavour. It is said to assist in a good nights sleep if used in a pillow.
What our customers say
We are very pleased with your service, we have just opened our jar of Antonio's Lavender raw honey and the aroma and taste is exceptional. The best we have ever had. William, Cheshire

Heritage Apple Cider Vinegar - 500ml
£9.99
Description
Socially produced, incredibly tasty Apple Cider Vinegar
This is a premium quality cider vinegar produced in small batches by a Brighton based social enterprise using honey from The Raw Honey Shop.
The Old Tree Brewery's Apple Cider Vinegar is unfiltered and unpasteurised, It is made with a unique blend of west country apples including Yarlingtons Mill, Improved Dove and Porters Perfection giving this cider vinegar a reddish colour, which is further enhanced by a specialist pressing technique used by Tom at Old Tree.
Size: 500ml
About the producer: The Old Tree Brewery activity combines brewing and gardening with forest farming and fermentation, producing drinks that are probiotic for our gut and compost that is probiotic for the soil. They want the human scale application of these processes to transform our food system for a sustainable future.
Storage: In general, it's recommended to store apple cider vinegar in a cool place, away from heat and sunlight. Seal the bottle cap tightly after each use. You may keep it in the refrigerator if desired, but it's not necessary. Because of the high acid content, it can't go bad. The shelf life of apple cider vinegar when stored correctly is indefinite. Without contamination from other substances, it will retain its best qualities in your pantry for at least five years after the expiry date, but will probably stay good for much longer.
What is the "mother"? Apple cider vinegar is made through a two-step process. First, yeast is added to apple juice to break down the sugars and turn them into alcohol. Then, bacteria is added, which converts the alcohol into acetic acid. This bacteria is what is known as the mother, because it is the catalyst that gives rise to the vinegar. Many store-bought apple cider vinegars have the mother removed because it gives the vinegar a cloudy appearance, which can lead people to believe that the product has gone bad. But this is not the case. In fact, the mother is the healthiest part.
How can you use cider vinegar? There are many ways but here are a couple. Many people start their day with a glass of water with a teaspoon of cider vinegar. A variation of this is made also adding a teaspoon of honey, creating a drink called honegar. It is also often used in salad dressings and even as a kind of hair conditioner, reputedly raising the acid level in your scalp, which counters frizzy hair.
