I had not had Heather honey before coming to the UK. In fact, I had never had this honey until I joined the Association for a Taster Beekeeping Day where we were offered to try several specialty honeys. It was also explained to me just how special the Heather honey is, with local beekeepers transporting …

Katkoot tries out lots of jars of honey and let’s you know what she thinks about them.
Navarino Icons – Pure Greek Honey
Another one of the treats my partner got an a whim. This is a commercial honey, produced in Messinia, Greece and found on the shelves of M&S.

M&S English Spring Honey
My partner picked this jar up back in April, from the local M&S shop. He was not prompted by me, which means I am slowly yet successfully turning him into a honey connoisseur, or just a picky honey eater. This honey was in M&S and disappeared just as suddenly as it appeared. It is a …
