Day 223
August 11, 2010Honey is one of our favourites. The range in Australia is quite staggering, all with quite distinct differences depending upon the trees and plants the bees have been around. Our favourite is the almost unique Jarrah Honey from the South West of Western Australia. It”s dark and rich with a full bodied flavour almost tending towards a savoury taste.
Our local beekeeper is Gloria Havenhand at Troway Hall. Gloria specialises in antibacterial honey which arises not just from the exceptional environment that the millions of bees enjoy, but the gums and resins from ancient hedgerows which wind for miles in and around our wonderful valleys.
I will be there at the week-end with a small walking group who wish to buy some of her magic honey.
