Deukes Raw Monofloral Rapeseed brassica napus 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.
Rapeseed is the first honey to be harvested in the year. Buttery-smooth, with a delicate aroma and mildly sweet taste, the honey crystallises almost as soon as the beekeepers collect it, making it a rare and much-renowned variety. It comes from the nectar of the Rapeseed plant, which covers hills and valleys with breath taking waves of yellow. Bright sunshine, golden sea and a haze of honeybees, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Rich in proteins, carbohydrates, and Vitamins A, B1, B2, and B3, Rapeseed honey is known to help with the kidneys and digestive system. It’s also believed to help with altitude sickness if eaten for a few days before travel.
With a high glucose content, Rapeseed Honey crystallises fast to form a white buttery paste.
Rapeseed honey spreads easily, so is perfect on hot crumpets or toast. Scoop it up with soft cheeses, and pair with a crisp Pinot Grigio.
Made by bees in the Northern Moldovan region of Riscani.
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.
