Old Bridge Headford Honey 12oz
Headford is an area just south of Barraduff village, between Killarney and Rathmore.
Located at the foot of the Paps of Anú mountains which are named after Anu; believed to have been an ancient mother goddess. Cormac's Glossary describes Anu or Danu as "the mother of the gods of Ireland". On each summit is a prehistoric cairn, which may be miniature passage graves or house burial cists. This gives a great variation to the honey tastes as briar,whitethorn,lime, are plentiful in the early summer all around the lowland areas, as the season progresses the mountains contain a lot of fuchsia & Heather which the bees also love.
All of the honey we sell is 100% pure honey, nothing adding and no adulteration is done to the honey. Every year can bring different tastes to varieties; such as, wildflower due to what is blooming since each year rain, sun, moisture, etc. all play a vital role in what plants are growing and providing nectar to the bees. We enjoy selling varieties of honey to folks and hope you enjoy honey as much as we do!
Honey straight from a hive is full of unique flavour notes based on its location and season. With a little background information all of these delicate variations can be appreciated with the same respect and admiration as the tasting of wine.
Depending on its nectar source, honey can be floral, fruity, smoky, woody, spicy, nutty or earthy. It can smell fresh as grass or pungent like aged cheese. It can look nearly clear as water or dark as molasses.
