Description
About Honeydew Honey
Oak, fir and pine are the trees behind it, and the bees gather the honeydew from their leaves, bark and branches. Because it comes from honeydew rather than flowers, it has a character all of its own: woody, resinous and earthy, and less sweet than a blossom honey.
It is one of the most distinctive honeys available, and a favourite for serving with strong cheeses or spooning over yoghurt. Staff suggest it both to people who want something strong and to people who want something unusual.

Frequently asked questions
What is honeydew honey?
Honey made from honeydew instead of flower nectar. Honeydew is a naturally occurring sugary substance that sap-feeding insects leave on the leaves, bark and branches of trees, and bees collect it and transform it into honey.
Is honeydew honey anything to do with honeydew melon?
No. The melon only shares the name. This honey comes from the honeydew bees collect from trees.
