Honey

In Herzegovina, one can still find old-fashioned beehives for honey production: this is the legacy that tells the story of a long beekeeping tradition in this country.

Herzegovinian honey, is one of the best known in the Balkans, especially for its aromatic properties and for being produced in unpolluted environment characterized by abundance of nectaric plants– approximately 3,700 of them, of which more than a half generally known in the Balkans grow in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This is the reason this honey has a strong aroma which is reflected in the Meadow Honey (Livadski med), Heather Honey (Med od vrijeska) and Sage Honey. The scent of sage honey is intense and aromatic. Sage honey is the perfect companion for meat and ham. It is excellent with seasonal cheese, and even better with squeaking cheese. As a sweetener, it gives its maximum when served with a cup of black tea. Heather honey has a gritty taste that goes well with some half-matured flavourful cheeses, while it is delicious in warm milk, which highlights the toffee caramel note.
