This Ivy honey captures the essence of autumn with robust, aromatic, and unique flavour.
As September fades into October, the bees turn their attention to the ivy flowers that blanket hedgerows and woodland edges. These late-season blooms provide a vital source of nectar when most others have vanished, resulting in a honey that is rich, full-bodied, and distinctly autumnal.
Thanks to the abundance of ivy in Lower Woods (which is the largest ancient woodlands in the southwest) the bees have thrived, producing an surplus of this distinctive honey.
With its earthy aroma and complex, slightly herbal flavour, Ivy honey is a true reflection of the changing season. It is smooth, yet bold, and wonderfully lingering on the palate.
Did you know? Ivy is one of the last plants to flower before winter sets in, offering bees essential nourishment when other sources are scarce. Its nectar crystallises quickly, giving Ivy honey its signature texture and creamy consistency.
