Description
Runny honey from our Brereton apiary, near Sandbach – Late Harvest 2021.
This apiary is on the border of Brereton and Arclid parishes, in Cheshire, England. The bees were here all summer however the combs given to them during the Spring and Summer were already extracted (our Brereton First Harvest Honey and Brereton Summer Harvest Honey) This batch samples the late-summer season around the month of August – there’s usually still lots of flowers about but we often spotted the bees foraging from Himalayan Balsam.
After being strained to remove any stray pieces of wax it has been left to settle and then jarred. It has not been filtered so retains all of the pollen naturally present in honey.
Even though this is a summer honey, it will eventually crystalise. We prefer to eat the honey as is so it retains all original taste and natural enzyme activity but if you would like to stop your honey crystallising further it can be kept in the freezer, or if you prefer a perfectly clear liquid honey, gently warm the jar to about 60°C — a water bath is best but you could also use the oven, it should take about an hour, maybe less.
It is sold in a traditional glass honey jar, with a metal screw lid and tamperproof label.
