Ihate to ask this, but is there any chance that you might have been exposed to coronavirus? Just a random thought, because it can affect your sense of taste. Your honey looks gorgeous, by the way. Perhaps get somebody else to taste it?

Maybe i start with a gallon.

i am gonna try some cooking with this honey, maybe a ham or some brussell sprouts, salad dressing, something like that. I also like the idea of giving some back to the bees

As far as the mead goes, I somewhat disagree with @ABB in that mead used to be a replacement for beer. Most beers are bitter to my taste, so I think it might be very interesting. You may not win any competitions with it, but it might be a very interesting drink!

Coriander (cilantro to Americans) is an interesting one. There is actually a genetic variation that makes it taste like soap to some people. If you have that variation, you will probably never like it!

It is in America. But in the UK, and apparently Australia, both the seeds and the leaves are known as coriander By the way, I love, love, LOVE coriander and cilantro. Result of eating Indian food in the UK decades ago. Prawn on Puri was the one of my favorite dishes, especially from a restaurant in Birmingham just across the street from the hospital where I worked. Ultimate comfort food! For anyone who has no idea what that is, here is a recipe:

The importance of eating well is even more pronounced here on this forgotten island. Try your hand at Roasted aubergines with honey, mint, garlic and salted honey, or a salad of Pecorino with walnuts and honey, followed by Malloreddus (the shell-shaped pasta from the region) with sausage and tomato.

The current love of all-things-bitter in the cocktail world has landed dusty bottles like Cynar front row center on the bar. Bitter spirits are having their time in the spotlight either as second spirit or as the main event in a glass.

The Bitter Honey Bee is a perfect those new to or who shy away from bitter spirits. Honey rounds out the bitter herbs while egg white gives it a delicious creaminess and lemon juice brightens everything up with some acidity. You can add in 3/4 oz-1 oz of honey syrup depending on how much bitterness you want to come through. I have tried both versions and they are equally great!

Make honey syrup. Add all ingredients, except for bitters, into a shaker without ice. Dry shake for 30 seconds. Add ice to the shaker and shake for 30 more seconds. Strain into a glass. Dot bitters on the top of the foam. Using a pick, drag through all of the bitter dots to create bitter garnish.

Arbutus honey contains Homogentisic acid, a powerful phenolic acid.The antioxidant and antibacterial qualities of this honey are truly exceptional and it is one of the most antioxidant as well as antibacterial honeys in the world. Studies we have seen suggest that this is possibly the most antioxidant rich honey available much more so than Buckwheat or Chestnut honey.

Anecdotal evidence we have heard also suggests this honey does not cause blood sugar to spike and is often used locally by diabetics.(This is not a medical claim- please consult your doctor if you are diabetic). It is also known to be beneficial for lung health.

Arbutus honey is extremely rare and made in limited quantities and not necessarily every year, we source our Arbutus honey from 3 different sources each of which are quite distinct in character. This year Fernando one of very best beekeepers produced all our Arbutus honey.and it is superb. Not too bitter, Very palatable.

The Arbutus honey you buy can vary in flavour and texture over time depending on which source it came from. Some are very bitter and some are sweeter with a small percentage of Portuguese heather or Eucalyptus. They are all wonderful and beneficial. Arbutus honey is typically very expensive, but we try to bring it to you at a reasonable price so it remains accessible and not exclusive or prohibitive like active Manuka honey.

Honey and Crystallization. Crystallization is a completely natural process and occurs with all raw honey. The speed and size of the crystallization depends on variations in the balance of sugars, ambient temperature and to some extent water content If your honey is set hard, you can loosen it up by placing it in a pan of hand hot water, (and repeat as necessary) using a spoon placed in hot water first and of course storing it in a sunny/warm place in the house.

The last remaining Laurissilva Cloud forest of ancient Europe still exists, a living breathing vestige of earths ancient past. A sub-tropical paradise full of scented flowering plants, and pre-historic laurel forest as well as plants indigenous to southern Europe. This magical honey is made by bees working in beehives sitting on the edge of the village of Sao Vicente on the wild and verdant North Shore of Madeira.

This raw honey is dark, rich and has real complexity, you can taste both the fruity notes of tropicals like passion flowers as well as dark earthy malty flavours which combine beautifully into a well rounded unusual and very moreish honey. It is also slightly more fructose than glucose so like all honey it crystallizes, albeit over a matter of several months.

This honey is from a small scale artisan producer with a very limited production and you are very unlikely to find it anywhere else. Every batch throughout the year is distinctly different, we have tried to select the very best from this artisan producer, Mr Viera.

Award Winning , Raw Serra da Estrela Mountain honey is a rich, very dark, viscous, malty, exquisitely balanced honey. This is a Raw Oak Honey with unique complexity. We feel lucky to have found this honey and think it is really special and we doubt you've had one quite like it !. For all you Raw Carob honey fans who are in withdrawal (or mourning) this might just make you feel a little better again.

We have called this honey Serra da Estrela mountain honey because it comes from the Guarda region of Northern Portugal just east of the majestic Serra da Estrela mountains. These forests are covered with Oak "Carvalho" and Chestnut,"Castanheiro" as well as woodland wildflowers and wild berry shrubs, all of which have contributed to the unique character of this honey.

The main part of this honey is Oak honeydew, which gives it its predominant character. Honeydew is made by bees foraging on aphid and other insect sweet secretions and is rich in Oligosaccahrides. Antibacterial and Antioxidant rich, this is a potent healing honey with an extraordinary smooth rich and balanced texture and flavour.

Raw Portuguese Heather honey, locally known as "Urze", is a potent, rich, delicious, aromatic honey. Also highly esteemed for its antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Recent Portuguese studies show it to be more potent than Chestnut honey and very high in phenolic compounds

If you've bought our Heather honey in the past you would know that our Portuguese Algarvian heather usually comes from the "Erica" family of heather not the Calluna, or Ling like the Scottish Heather. It is not thixotropic or jelly like in that way, but is a rich dark, viscous honey. This is a truly rare and beautiful honey; smoky, strong aromatic.

The Erica Heather (at least 6 species of white and red) flowers in the winter months in the Algarve, it provides valuable food to the bees and quite often is not taken for this very reason. Should the spring flowers be late or the weather harsh, the bees will eat most or all of it, before it is taken.

This 2019 harvest, has quite simply been one of the very best we have ever seen, the quality is exceptional. It has depth, balance, complexity and a superb complex aromatic finish. Quite simply you will not find a better example of this honey. If you can find one at all...

Quite simply in our opinion this is one the best honeys we have ever tasted, bar none. From any country, any variety. This is a dark western Algarvian wildflower, made by one of our most experienced beekeepers who takes great trouble to produce this type and there is a very limited amount each year.

Made from bees foraging on the abundant spring wildflowers that carpet the hillsides and meadows of the Western and Central Algarve. This honey is made by the same master beekeeper who produced our other 3 star Great Taste Award Winning Heather honey. Parabens Pedro..

This wildflower honey is a dark and highly complex honey, made from the diverse wildflowers including Carob, wild Lavender, Borage, Narcissus, Daisies, Buttercups, Vipers Burgloss,, Lupins, and many more. A wonderful tasty complex honey for anyone with a sweet tooth. This honey is a timeless classic.

There's mud on the floor. Melted snow mixed with dirt fills the cracks in the old wood. The air is stale, a mixture of burnt pine and tobacco, sickly sweet, irritating his nose that has yet to adjust to the sudden warmth. Draco sniffs. Snowflakes slip down the length of his black cloak and join the slush on the floor. He wrinkles his nose and steps forward; the dirty floorboards creak beneath his feet.
