Reviews
Great Taste 3 Gold Star Award reviews from the judges for our Olly’s Farm Heather Honey.
“What a gorgeous specimen of heather honey. The jelly-like texture is just beautiful and there are notes of burnt ember, caramel and wild flowers, with a hint of sweetness. Gorgeous.”
“A rich, golden honey with excellent viscosity and the distinct aroma of heather honey. The silky smooth texture releases everything judges want from a heather honey, full of floral notes with an edge of citrus. This is a delicious honey that has complexity, length and character. The judges could not see how this could be improved on, the bees have done well.”
“There is a belt of heather character on the nose here, so inviting. Deep orange in colour, like melted barley sugar. The rich flavour is perfectly balanced, the bitter note of the heather tempering the inherent honey sweetness. The long flavour remains with us, inspiring judges to go back for more. Very accomplished.”
“What a delightful aroma to this heather honey with its deep caramel hue. The ling opens well on the palate with a rich and bold intensity and the waxy consistency is so good. Rather delicious. Well done the bees.”
