A few answers to help you get to know honey.
01
Which honey should I try first?
For a gentle flavour, start with acacia or rapeseed honey. Multifloral honey offers a range of floral notes. Linden and heather honey suit those looking for a bolder aroma. The flavour of individual batches can vary.
02
What makes honey varieties different?
The main difference is the source of nectar. It influences colour, aroma, flavour and the speed of crystallisation. Multifloral honey comes from various plants, so its character can change with the location and season of harvest.
03
What is rapeseed honey like?
Rapeseed honey has a mild, sweet flavour and an aroma of rapeseed flowers. It usually crystallises quickly, forming fine crystals and turning very pale. It pairs well with bread, porridge and home baking. In the REIL collection, it is one of the options for people who enjoy gentle honey flavours.
04
What does multifloral honey taste like?
Multifloral honey comes from the nectar of different plants and usually has a sweet, floral flavour. Its colour, aroma and rate of crystallisation depend on the plants, location and harvest season, so individual batches can differ. It pairs well with plain yoghurt, porridge and bread.
05
How does acacia honey differ from rapeseed honey?
Acacia honey is usually light in colour, mild in flavour and delicately floral. It generally stays liquid longer than rapeseed honey, which quickly forms fine crystals. Both varieties can crystallise naturally. Acacia honey pairs well with fresh cheese, pancakes and yoghurt when you want a gentle sweetness.
06
What does linden honey taste like, and how can I use it?
Linden honey has an intense aroma reminiscent of linden blossom. Its flavour can be slightly sharp, with a subtle bitterness. It suits people looking for a bolder honey and pairs well with herbal infusions, lemon and simple desserts. It crystallises naturally over time; the texture depends on the individual batch.
07
What makes heather honey distinctive?
Heather honey has an intense heather aroma and a bold flavour with a hint of bitterness. It may have a characteristic jelly-like consistency and also crystallises over time. Try it with stronger cheeses, bread or as an addition to a dressing. It suits people who enjoy deeper, less delicate flavours.
08
Is honey crystallisation natural?
Yes. Crystallisation is the natural process of honey changing from liquid to a more solid form. On its own, it does not mean the honey has spoiled. The speed depends on factors including variety and storage temperature: rapeseed honey usually crystallises faster than acacia honey.
09
How should I store honey?
Keep honey in a tightly closed jar in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Use a clean, dry spoon. Also follow the information on the label of your particular product.
10
When are the different honey varieties harvested?
The typical fresh-harvest season starts with rapeseed honey in spring. Multifloral honey is harvested in spring and summer, acacia in early summer, linden in summer, and heather in late summer and autumn. Timing depends on weather and flowering. Harvest season does not indicate current availability at REIL — ask the workshop about stock.
