Deukes Raw Monofloral Linden Honey - 250ml
Deukes Raw Monofloral Linden Tilia tomensta 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.
Delicate, fruity and sophisticated, we like to think of Linden as the Chardonnay of the honey world. It has a butter-yellow colour, a distinctive, mildly spicy flavour and a fresh, woody scent. Ours comes from the Codri forest region of Moldova, where Linden trees have been grown for honey since Medieval times. Tall and elegant, their white flowers bloom from late spring-time to early summer, when the groves come alive with the hum of honeybees.
Great Taste Award 2024 1 Star
Rich in vitamins B, C and K and tannins, Linden honey is known to ward off colds and flu and help with respiratory conditions. It’s also thought to prevent migraines, calm the nervous system and help with insomnia.
Linden Honey crystallises naturally after four-six months, forming a soft, buttery paste with large crystals.
Linden’s tangy taste makes it the perfect match for creamy cheeses, green melon and crusty baguettes. It also goes nicely with a rich Malbec wine.
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.
