For lovers of intense honeys, we present the Serra da Estrela Urzes Honey with Elderberry, a genuinely Portuguese product that captures the pure essence of nature.
This unique honey comes from Serra da Estrela, a region known for its natural beauty and biodiversity. Bees of the Apis mellifera Iberica species collect nectar from queiró, torga and white heather, producing honey with a very dark, amber tone, with a striking aroma and flavor and a slight characteristic astringency.
Heather Honey is recognized for its quality and for being a natural source of energy, thanks to its natural sugar content. It is especially appreciated by those who prefer less sweet flavors, offering a unique tasting experience.
The addition of elderberry, a dark red pigmented fruit with strong coloring power, enriches this honey with a distinct bluish/violet color. Elderberry, known since ancient times as the guardian of health, is abundant in antioxidants and polyphenols, making this honey one of the most antioxidants available.
Ideal for replenishing energy at the end of the day, Heather Honey with Elderberry is perfect to accompany crepes, in the preparation of relaxing drinks or as a topping for ice cream and yogurt.
This product is a testimony to Portugal's natural wealth and the care and dedication in producing quality food. Experience the sophisticated touch and health benefits this honey has to offer.
Usage Suggestions
Natural Sweetener: Replace refined sugar with this honey in teas, coffees or milks. Its aromatic richness and balanced sweetness perfectly complement these drinks, adding a layer of complexity to the flavor.
Yogurt and Cheese Topping: Drizzle this honey over natural yogurt for a touch of sweetness with hints of berries or use it as a topping for aged and fresh cheeses. The combination of the slightly astringent flavor of honey with the creaminess of cheese creates a delicious contrast.
Pancakes, Crepes and Scones Enhancer: Elevate the flavor of your pancakes, crepes and scones with this honey. Its unique consistency and flavor add an extra dimension to these dishes, making them even more irresistible.
Sweet and Sour Sauces: Incorporate Heather Honey with Elderberry into sweet and sour sauces for meats or salads. Its complex flavor profile and slight astringency can balance acidic and salty flavors, creating a harmonious and nuanced sauce.
Marinades for Grilled Shrimp: Use this honey to prepare marinades for grilled shrimp. Elderberry's sweetness and antioxidants help caramelize the shrimp during grilling, offering a glossy finish and deeply pleasing flavor.
Cocktail Preparation: Try adding this honey to your cocktail ingredient list. It can be used to soften stronger alcohol drinks or add a layer of complexity to smoother cocktails. Its unique flavor will certainly leave your guests curious and impressed.
