Heather Honey from Serra da Lousã with Ginger
Harvested from the slopes and valleys of Serra da Lousã, this honey is a true gem of the central Portuguese mountains.

Each spoonful reveals the harmony between countryside, mountain, and forest — a true expression of Portuguese nature.
Versatile and delicate, it is perfect for sweetening hot drinks, topping pancakes, crepes, or scones, and enhancing the flavor of fresh cheeses.

Origin of raw materials
Discover the Origins and Identity of the Ingredients
The PACK 3 Honey – Souvenir from Portugal brings together honeys that express the authenticity and natural diversity of the Portuguese territory. Each variety originates from unique landscapes — from mountain to plain, from inland to coast — reflecting the floral richness and beekeeping knowledge that make Portuguese honey a product of excellence. These distinct origins tell stories of tradition, respect for nature, and artisanal dedication, turning each tube into a journey through the flavors of Portugal.
More than just a gift, this pack is a celebration of the work of bees and the beekeepers who keep the heritage of traditional apiculture alive. The result is a trio of authentic honeys that combine purity, identity, and flavor — perfect to enjoy or offer this Christmas.
Heather Honey from Serra da Lousã with Ginger
Collected from the slopes and valleys of the Serra da Lousã, this mountain honey is born in an area of high biodiversity, dominated by heather blossoms. It is characterized by a dark color, amber reflections, and a dense texture that embody the strength and character of the highlands in central Portugal. The flavor is intense, slightly acidic, and has the typical astringent note of heather nectar, giving it a robust and distinctive personality.
When combined with ginger — one of the most ancient and valued medicinal plants in the world — the honey gains a spicy and invigorating aromatic dimension. Ginger is known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and energizing properties, resulting in a honey that blends tradition and wellness. Together, the heather honey and ginger create a balanced fusion of intensity and freshness, perfect for cold winter days and to accompany the rich, comforting flavors of the Christmas season.
Organic Multifloral Honey
Collected in the Beiras region, specifically in Viseu, this multifloral honey is the result of a transhumant beekeeping practice that follows the natural rhythm of the seasons and the diversity of local blooms. This wild honey combines multiple floral species — heather, rosemary, eucalyptus, gorse, hollyhock, thyme, lavender, and borage — which give it a balanced and harmonious aromatic profile. The result is a golden honey with a delicate flavor and smooth texture that reflects the purity of Portuguese meadows and forests.
Produced according to the principles of organic beekeeping, this honey is harvested in uncontaminated areas where bees are raised in harmony with their environment. Its balanced taste, with floral and slightly fruity notes, makes it one of the most appreciated for its versatility and authenticity. It represents the balance between tradition and sustainability, reflecting the best of Portuguese agricultural practices.
Orange Blossom Honey with Chili Pepper
Produced from orange blossom honey from the Algarve, this variety stands out for its light color, citrus aroma, and gentle flavor with a natural acidity that gives it freshness and lightness. The Algarve’s orange groves, blessed with over 3,000 hours of annual sunshine, offer ideal conditions for exceptional beekeeping. The combination with dried chili pepper results in a vibrant fusion of sweetness and spiciness — a symbol of Portuguese culinary boldness and creativity.
Chili pepper, with its intense red color, is a spice known for its pungent and fiery notes, thanks to capsaicin, the compound responsible for the sensation of heat. This ingredient adds energy and intensity to the honey, creating a perfect balance between mild and spicy. The result is a honey full of personality, ideal for those who enjoy bold flavors and for enhancing recipes with Mediterranean inspiration.
Choosing an organic honey ensures not only the purity of the product but also respect for local ecosystems. The apiaries are placed in areas with spontaneous vegetation and free from pesticides, preserving the honey’s quality and natural integrity. A true expression of the Algarve, where beekeeping tradition and citrus culture meet innovation and the art of crafting unique flavors.
