Full-bodied. Velvety-smooth. And glowing with the deep-red colour of an August sunset. Sage honey is a rare delicacy, packed with aromatic and herby flavours that make it perfect for pairing and cooking. Across the Mediterranean’s dry and rocky regions, hardy Salvia plants are grown for herbs and honey. Standing tall, their deep-purple flowers sway gently as bees loop from one to another.

Salvia is from the Latin meaning ‘to heal’, so it’s no surprise Sage honey is packed with benefits. Containing vitamins A, B6, K and E, as well as minerals and antioxidants, it’s thought to help regulate hormonal activity and stimulate the endocrine and cardio-vascular systems.
Sage honey naturally crystallises after around six months, forming soft, runny crystals and developing a mouth-watering peppery taste.
Stir into recipes as a sugar substitute. Or scoop up with thick slices of sourdough, butter and salty cheese. Sage honey also pairs well with Pinot Noir and Merlot.
The delicate aroma and creamy texture pairs well with soft cheese, papaya and figs. Or a glass of Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay wine.
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.
