Deukes Raw Monofloral Sunflower helianthus annus 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.
Bright and sweet, with a soft fondant-like texture, a scoop of Sunflower honey is a scoop of sunshine. Because of its many health benefits, it’s also considered to be one of nature’s superfoods. Our Sunflower honey comes from the glorious golden fields of Eastern Europe. There, row upon row of nodding sunflowers follow the sun’s arc all day, to the gentle hum of honeybees and cicadas.
Great Taste Award 2024 1 Star
Sunflower honey has a high concentration of vitamins E, PP, B+ and C, as well as antioxidants and selenium. It’s known for helping with gastrointestinal, respiratory and heart conditions.
Sunflower honey crystallises fast, forming a soft, buttery paste. It then gets slowly firmer over time.
With its fresh, sweet taste, Sunflower honey is the perfect match for blue cheeses, rye bread and seeds or nuts. It also goes nicely with peachy Orange wine.
Made by bees in Eastern and Central Europe.
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.
