Anglesey Bees win Great Taste award
One of our supporters, Anglesey Bees win Great Taste award – a GREAT TASTE 2-star award for their Anglesey Spring Wildflower Honey.
The description of the honey that they submitted with the honey was as follows:-
An amber honey, thick, fluid and smooth, this is foraged on the spring blossom of wild hedgerows and flowering trees from the terroir of Anglesey’s UNESCO geopark. It has a rich warm, woody aroma, with strong notes of vanilla and hints of maple and chocolate in the flavour.
The judges’ adjudications were as follows:-
“An aroma of caramel lifted from this rich, viscous, amber honey. This a delightfully floral honey with a light astringency on the palate suggesting the bees may have been foraging on tree flowers.”
“There were the most delicious wafts of sun warmed woody notes. The burst of floral vanilla that initially filled the mouth followed by fruity musky notes with a savoury edge. This clever honey works in harmony on the palate to allow a burst of spring.”
“Wonderful amber colour with excellent viscosity and an enticing floral hit on the nose. A smooth texture coats the mouth with the delicate sweet flavour rich with floral clean notes singing of the environment these bees have been working.”
