Origin of raw materials
Discover the Origins and Identity of the Ingredients
The Travel Kit 6 Honey of Portugal – Honey Experiences brings together nectars harvested across different Portuguese landscapes — mountains, valleys, orchards, and aromatic scrublands. Each tube captures the essence of the land, flora, and beekeeping expertise, revealing aroma and texture profiles that only Portugal’s diversity can offer.
More than a collection of natural sweets, this kit is a journey through Portugal’s honey routes. From hives managed by family beekeepers to dried fruits and spices carefully selected, each combination honors artisanal methods, respect for nature, and the spirit of sharing that defines the Portuguese Christmas.
Heather Honey from Serra da Lousã with Ginger
On the schist slopes of the Serra da Lousã, honey takes shape among heather, rockrose, and wildflowers that perfume the mountain. It’s a high-altitude honey with a deep tone and vigorous character, reflecting the ruggedness of the land and the thermal range that intensifies its flavors.
The addition of ginger brings a warm and citrusy vibration, enhancing the spiced notes of this mountain honey. The result is an energizing combination, perfect for warming winter recipes and Christmas desserts.
Eucalyptus Honey with Dried Pear
Along the coast and eucalyptus groves, bees collect a light amber nectar with a balsamic aroma and long finish. This Eucalyptus Honey is clean, balanced, and much appreciated in teas and cooking.
The dried pear, obtained through the traditional dehydration of regional varieties, adds fruity sweetness and a hint of wine-like depth. Together, they create an elegant, enveloping honey with a creamy texture and the taste of sun-dried fruit.
Orange Blossom Honey with Chilli
In the orchards of the Algarve, the orange blossom yields a clear, fragrant nectar with defined floral and citrus notes. It’s a light, delicate, and luminous honey — almost springlike.
The addition of chilli introduces a gentle heat that contrasts with the honey’s softness, creating a modern signature: sweet, fragrant, and subtly spicy — perfect for festive recipes that call for a bold touch.
Rosemary Honey with Apple and Cinnamon
From the Beira and Trás-os-Montes inland regions comes Rosemary Honey, harvested in areas rich in biodiversity. With its light color and rounded aroma, it expresses the floral and serene side of the Portuguese countryside.
Combined with apple and cinnamon, it gains notes reminiscent of baked desserts — roasted apple, sweet dough, and brown sugar. It’s the taste of comfort, designed for winter tables and cozy evenings by the fireplace.
Multifloral Honey
Born from the pollination of various wildflowers throughout the seasons — heather, rosemary, gorse, mallow, thyme, and rosemary — the multifloral honey captures the pure diversity of the Portuguese countryside.
Its profile is balanced and versatile, with nuances that change according to the year and the landscape. A faithful portrait of the local ecosystem, it’s ideal for those seeking the most direct expression of Portuguese terroir in a single honey.
Serra da Estrela Heather Honey with Elderberry
In the Serra da Estrela, the heather that covers valleys and plateaus produces a dark, dense, and intense mountain honey, slightly astringent and full of character — resilient even to the cold.
The elderberry, harvested mainly in the north of the country, adds ruby color, freshness, and a fruity acidity that lifts the flavor. The fusion creates a deep, elegant honey, made for those who appreciate bold contrasts.
A Tribute to Portuguese Diversity
Each ingredient in this kit carries the essence of its territory, climate, and craftsmanship — from schist mountains to Atlantic shores, Algarve orchards to mountain villages. The result is a collection that celebrates origin, authenticity, and tradition, proudly bearing the Portuguese beekeeping signature.
By offering these honey experiences, you also offer a piece of Portugal: natural flavors, respectful processes, and the sweet memory that accompanies Christmas at family tables.
