Leahy Beekeeping - Heather Honey

Seasonal Heather Honey, produced in the Sliabh Aughty Mountains, Co. Galway, Ireland. Dark in colour, Heather honey has a powerful aroma that is reminiscent of the heather from which it comes. Uniquely, it has a very unusual texture: it is thixotropic, which means it is like jello until you stir it, when it turns liquid. Stop, and it soon sets again. This honey does not crystallize, and rarely does in its pure form. The honey also contains tiny bubbles which makes it shimmer in the light. Its strong, rich smoky taste has been compared to toffee, and gets stronger the longer the honey is stored. In Ireland, it is highly-prized by connoisseurs and known as the "Rolls Royce" of honey.
