Deukes Raw Monofloral Acacia Honey - 250ml
Deukes Raw Monofloral Acacia Robinia pseudoacacia Honey 250ml.
Honey for dipping. Honey for drizzling. Honey for pairing with cheese, wine and recipes. Honey for every occasion and every palate. Each of Deukes' varieties is made from the nectar of a single flower species, creating unique tastes and textures. Dip in and start your journey.
Like your honey light? With its silky texture, clear, straw-coloured hue and mild floral taste, Acacia is one of the world’s finest varieties. Ours is made from the nectar of black locust trees, which blanket the hillsides of central Moldova. From May onwards, their pale flowers burst into bloom, filling the air with soft sweetness.

Rich in vitamins B+, C and A, as well as antioxidants and flavonoids, Acacia is known to help improve digestive and liver functions. It’s also thought to contribute to increased blood haemoglobin, detoxifying the liver and maintaining a healthy heart. And it’s used to help regulate sleep.
With a high fructose content, Acacia honey rarely crystallises.
Acacia’s delicate taste means it doesn’t overpower other flavours, so it’s perfect drizzled over yoghurt, cereal or ice cream. It goes well with firm, salty cheeses like pecorino, or over a thick layer of butter on crusty bread. And it’s a good natural sweetener in tea and coffee.
Made by bees in the protected Codri forest region of Moldova.
250ml Glass jar with card gift box.
About Deukes.
Imagine if every bottle of wine on the shelf tasted the same. If the sommelier only gave you one option. And if every dish was paired with the same grape, every time.
That’s what happens with honey, all over the world.
Having kept bees for generations on our family farm in Moldova, having trained beekeepers across Europe in sustainable practices, and having seen what nature can create, we realised there was a problem.
Beekeepers like us were producing the most stunning varieties of honey. Rich. Sweet. Earthy. Runny. Thick. Deep. Woody. And yet the factory process of mixing varieties together, then adding sweeteners, was making every honey on the supermarket shelves taste the same.
With a collective of independent, sustainable beekeepers we know and trust, we set out to make honey special again. And Deukes – meaning sweet in Ancient Greek – was born. Instead of mixing varieties, our honeys are ‘monofloral’, meaning the nectar comes from one species of plant. (As much as you can stop bees from flying further afield, anyway.)
Each one has its own taste. Its own special colour. And its own unique health benefits, which our beekeepers and communities have known of for thousands of years.
Other than testing for quality, the honey is untouched by human hands. It is as raw as the hive intended, with the taste of every flower and landscape deep within.
Drizzle over breakfast. Scoop up with cheese. Stir through tea. And discover a different taste, and journey, with every jar.
